**”Blooming Lessons”**

As a flower opens, soft and true,
Teaching us to shine, to bloom,
Beauty’s not known ‘til we unfold,
And show the heart we’ve yet to hold.

Growth is ours, the choice we make,
Like petals reaching, wide awake,
In soil we rise, in light we grow,
The world will see, the love we show.

A Christmas with family is a blessed day indeed, for all that come and join are in for a feed. Come one, come all… whether girl or boy, Christmas is for all. May it blessed and filled with joy!

In the quiet of a fading dream,
I lost myself in the spaces between the words we never said.
Drifting in daylight, I thought I could find a way back,
But the fork in the road was a dead end,
And all that’s left is the shadow of what we were—
An idea, a picture, a story told in half-light.

You’re a world away now,
And the miles between us could never be measured in words.
But here I stand, taller than you left me,
With grace I didn’t know I had,
Not in the way you abandoned me
In the dark, pretending to love me whole.

Our souls never braided together,
And now our future’s a fading photograph,
From vivid colors to a gray, washed-out scene.
I wish I could hate you,
But I loved the dream I built around you,
The world I imagined where you never left.

Your “I love you’s” hit like stone,
Each one finding its mark,
Like a gun you kept loading,
Shot after shot,
Trying to heal me with the same hands that tore me apart.
I searched for a memory, something sweet,
But all I found was the floor beneath me,
Drowned in a river of crimson regret.

I planted flowers in the soil of my own heart,
Tended them with every tear I couldn’t hold back,
But I’ll give all of me back to myself,
And bury what’s left of you deep in the earth.
This time, I’ll keep my heart hidden,
Where no one can find it again.

A trip around made once more. Setting goals and making moves never thought of before. My family by my side and the best friends a person could ask for. This is a life worth living and loving. Here’s to 32! .venter

My eyes caught your light
But it your bright glow turned out to be as fake as modern Christmas trees.
No matter what you said or wrote about me, I’ll never believe it to be true as it was your actions that spoke louder than the words out your deceiving mouth.
Your tongue whipped out lies like lightning in a storm
but with you, you struck continuously the same mark.
Me!
I was your fall guy,
your get away car,
your quick fix.
Deny it or dismay it, it’s my belief.
Yes , I fell for every trick you had up your sleeve.
Yes, some nights I still catch myself searching for your car that will never appear.
“Here I am” I scream out hoping you’d hear.
A FIT of panic sweeps over my very soul.
You were never mine but I was always yours.
My eyes caught your light, the light that I found so dazzling.
The light you made was only but a reflection, a reflection of me. The brightness that attracted me to you was never yours but mine all along.
I’d burn like a 100 suns for you but now I stand here burned only BY you. You only mirror, never create. As the sun I will shine forever and for once you will be the one left in the dark.
