Promised poems

   Since I said I would post the poem about Mrs.Gressman then here it is. Also two others that i just felt needed to be on here. The poem I used to vent and one about Mrs.McGarry. I don't know why I am being all formal but its bugging me. Just some background info for some of you, Andrea and Georgia have helped in SO many ways and it all started with God. Only God truly knows how much I love them and how much they both have impacted my life. I couldn't have prayed for better role-models, and most people don't get to learn for two very different but kind of the same mentors. Its funny the way God works, isn't it?

    Standing Tall
(For Mrs.Gressman)

          I remember the way you always stand tall
      I remember you always finding a way through my walls
   I remember the way you always help me through my falls

          I can recall our first meeting
      the first time I acted on your advice
  and the first time I ever followed someone like you
      
        You're so sweet
     So kind
  So gentle
      
          Always firm
      Never backing down
  And always helping others
      
        Reading your writings
     Following your wisdom
  And knowing your reasoning's
      
            I couldn't of prayed for your guidance
       God just knew that I needed assistance
   and sent my life spinning until I came to you
    
         I asked for help
     You gave advice
  I came back finding God in another way
   
        Thinking of all things past
      I came to realize life is a play and you're part of the cast
  When in need you came and help me fast
 
       You're so loving
     so patient
   so joyful
     
        When I'm grown I hope to be like you
     To know whats true
  Thanks to the Lord, for He knew
  
       When I am helping someone in need
     I will know that I'm helping plant a seed
  Because you showed me what it takes to lead

      God Working

Why should I say a word?

Why should I care?

Why should I hide my tears?

You ask how I am

I tell you a lie

and then I start to cry

Its killing me not to speak

not to find the answers when I seek

Oh Lord why am I so weak?

I've been told to call when in need

never do I though because I am me

don't want to bother any of you, now you see?

I'm fighting back the anger

the frustration

and the tears

I want it to all be okay

So all I do is sit and pray

Wishing that I might be able to obey

Not to tell a lie

myself I must apply

while trying to think of a reply

not going to say a word

although I probably should

I dont know if I actually could

Trying to stand tall

feeling like I'm going to fall

I know I'm just trying to stall

Losing ways to show you I care

I think everyone is scared

I thank you so much because you shared

How can this hurt more than falling on ice?

No sleep was lost over that yet here I am not sleeping at all

No one tear was shed over the fall yet here I am trying not to cry

What about this has my heart?

Why does it feel like its being torn apart?

Can't it just restart?

Maybe its because there's much love

At least I know the Lord is above

So what do I have to be scared of?

I don't know anymore

The funny you I've gotten to know

Just the way you are

Always finding a way to get a smile

Laughing so hard it hurts

Having serious conversations

While still finding fun

Little comments you make

Show how much you care

Most likely without you realizing

Getting things I love

Our little inside jokes

Telling me what to do

Giving advice

You and your glitter

Oh, and your hats

Things you do make just me laugh

I don't know how you do it all

Going from this and that

And being able to deal with it all

Its funny the way God works

Six months ago I barely knew your name 

Now Some could think that I lived with you

You show me what to do

You help me learn about myself

You teach me what it takes

You help me with stuff everyday

Feeling at home

Taking off my shoes

Just hanging out

Whether Laughing or crying

I know its okay

Playing with your kids

Hiding under the table

Laughing so hard

I almost roll over

The spider at breakfast

Fear that went through my veins

The look on every ones face

As I tried to run away

As I think of all these moments

I realize how much time I actually spend with you

Its crazy how much I've been able to learn

In these few short months

Seems like years

Its funny what God can do

Thank you for all the laughs

The smiles

The encouraging thoughts

You've helped me in so many ways

You couldn't possible imagine

Thank you for all you lessons

That you probably didn't know you taught

And thank you for helping me lose my mind

Plus to end this one last rhyme

I must say I enjoy your purse-onality lots!

( If you can't tell, this is for you Georgia. It may not be the greatest but its what came to mind when I thought of you, well somethings... Oh and the picture is for the mice that sleep with Naomi ;D)

I will post the picture soon :)
