Reason for Sanity
It melts the ice and starts a small flame.
The good things that give me hope for the untold.
It comforts me when the world has no knowledge of the word humbled.
What gives confidence when so many flaws cause my life to be fumbled.
It's what holds my bones together when I feel that they have already crumbled.
The thing that reminds me of the possibilities that are mine to keep.
It breathes air into my lungs and starts my heart to beat.
What wakes me when I am about to fall into a permanent sleep.
It's how I'm able to come back to surface when I'm in deep.
The reason I smile when life is a complete pain.
It melts the ice and starts a small flame.
What brings a light drizzle from a heavy rain.
It's what keeps me sane.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
