Ode To Kimbear

Its funny how when I think of you
the sun begins to shine
so bright as to give me
some sort of sign
then I recall the days of my youth
and how you were always there
Oh the Adventures we would go on!
Vacations on the Beach
along the coast
traveling up where
the north wind blows
making all my childish
dreams come true
seeing things I never knew
How I Loved to travel
With you.
You were in my corner
always there
Finding all the ways
to show you care
a hug, a wave, or a smile
But seeing your face in the crowd
gave me the courage and strength
trying hard not to make mistakes
Only wanting to make you Proud
I never wanted to let you down
and should I ever shed a tear
you made all my fears disappear
A bond that could never be broken
no matter the time or distance
spaces in between
If I had a wish
Like a fairy godmother
you would make it come true
Every event
you would be there
Every School Function
Every play or performance
you were the one
who gave me inner strength
my inner voice
my saving grace
to Do my Best
And should I Fail
Fall flat on my face
Eyes flowing tears of shame
You would always back me up
and inspire me to wake up
when I needed a Hug
you would wrap your arms around me
and hold me tight
and say that everything
would be alright
you would dry my tears
and be the kickstand
for my struggling heart
and when I was Wrong
You were the only one
who understood my reasons why
and told me to
"Straighten up and fly right"
a boost of confidence
and Confidence is Key
We never knew where
my life would lead
or the battles we would fight
if anything I was doing
was it ever right
No matter what path I would choose
You were there for support
If I ever needed to run
I would run to you
You only wanted to see
me happy and succeed
Now that I am older
my eyes are open wide
no longer in need to hide
I never understood,
As children hardly do
All the pieces of the puzzle
that make you whole
I'm taking this moment to say
that you are a Major part
of my Yesterdays and Today's
I don't think you realize
how grateful I am for you
I know I have said it
briefly once before
but if I could just once more
Tell you how much
I Love You
and miss the things we used to do
When others turn away
You are the one in the shadows
holding the candle
Flagging my Plane down
on the runway of life
I can always depend on you
But I want you to know
you can Depend on me too
I also want to say
that I am proud of you too
I admire Your strength
for you are strong
where I would be weak
You have overcame obstacles
and achieved the greatest feats
You climbed your own mountain
never letting anyone
bring you down
you keep moving forward
and you are doing your best
even when the struggles
put you to the test
From the bottom
to reaching the top
Never giving up
your heart is bigger than the sun
you share it with the world
asking nothing in return
Making the most out of life
making it all your own
You inspire me to do great things
You always taught me
that if you want something
and do something great
don't ever let anything weigh you down
My admiration for you
and everything you do
never wears down
I believe in you
and the person that you are
never change a thing
to me you are a star
shining bright in the sky
way up high
Thank you for being there
and for everything you do
and know that each and every day
I always think of you
I wonder what your up to
how you are doing
If you need a hug
a laugh, or someone there
You can call upon me
should you ever need
a shoulder to lean on
or just to hang out
No matter what life throws at you
Don't change who you are
Because to me you are Great
the world needs more people
like you
When your load leaves you weary
and you are searching for a friend
just call upon me
on whom you can depend
The memories we have
I will never forget
And I Love You
till the very end!

Blank Paper

Ugh!
Blank paper once again
Mind, an empty box upstairs
sheets of white canvas
a four corner bus stop
to my motivational creativity
why does it always happen
the moment I reach the urge
to spill emotion on the floor
yet I find my words only to be
soulless little nothings
screaming without a voice
Like the flow
time itself seems to halt
       ~Speechless~
on a never ending treasure hunt
to pick the ripest word
of color to paint vocal vibrations
My, this waiting room is crowded
of which no one seems to want to leave
Quick wit and vocabulary
have seemed to abandoned me
I would Love to paint you a portrait
a sea side landscape perhaps?
But my tongue is stiffened
Lost in its search
so for now all I bare to have
is Blank Paper.

Forward

You can dish it out
but hang it up
wipe your feet
and relax when you are done
Don't let it swell your thoughts
and cloud above you
dripping wet in your eyes
don't let it loose your focus
just hang it up to dry
walk away and say good bye
open the door
and embrace the sun
walk with your shades on
and let your skin take flight
in the suns rays
dust your knees
kick the dirt off your feet
wear the smile
wipe away the frown
and keep on walkin'
you're ok
