The Lost Good-bye

The Lost Good-bye

by rhonda


“I’m sorry’’we say
It’s what we do
There are no words
From which to choose

The pain-the shock
The total loss
They’ve gone away
And here we stay

No reason why
No last good-bye
A final breath
Their laid to rest

The fear-the grief
The disbelief
What do we do
When it’s love we loose


In each tear drop
Are honors due
The love they gave
Still lives in you

It’s in our heart
That special place
We keep the love
With peace and grace

Please look to me
I’ll look to you
Together my friend
We’ll make it through

You've Gone Away;How Do I Stay

You've Gone Away;How Do I Stay

by rhonda



How do we mourn?
We are so torn!
The pain will stay
Forever I say

I cannot eat
I do not sleep
Within this day
It’s hard to pray

Where can I get
A moments rest
I’ll focus on
Each shallow breath

This pain I know
I must get through
Moment to moment
Is what I’ll do

If someone died
And no one cried
What a sad reflection
On their life

I may not see you
Day to day
But in my heart
You’ll always stay

So in each tear
I struggle through
I will embrace
My love for you

SUICIDE CRY

by rhonda


Suicide why
How dare you die
You care so much
That’s why you cry

Think for a moment
The opposites true
If you did not care
You wouldn’t be blue

Those who are heartless
Mean and cruel
Would never consider
This a tool

It seems so much
A selfish act
Or is it just
A selfless fact

So very unbalanced
Perfectly planned
Won’t you reach out
For just one hand

If not for yourself
For some-one else
Who would it be
To see such a deed

If life has landed
Such a blow
Please choose another
Person to show

Find ONE that cares
Someone like you
Together you’ll know
Just what to do

Someone is lonely
Another in need
Many are waiting
They desperately weep

Maybe you’ll find
A flicker of light
Helping another
Win this fight

only the deep will hear this plea……….
please stay here and help with me

My Autistic View


by rhonda



I do see you
Please see me too
First consider
My autistic view

I’m already here
Just wait on me
It takes some time
Not yours! But mine

Sometimes my eyes
They seem to stray
I do see you
I need you to stay

Like a video
That’s moves too quick
If you stay still
My eyes will fix

Although my world
Is new to you
I am inside
Please follow through

It will take time
The way I grow
If you stay strong
To you I’ll show

The secret you need;
You ARE the key
Within my eyes
You will find me

Expecting too little
Expecting too much
Just don’t give up
You can reach us

It frustrates you
It angers me
But one right move
Will set me free

One small touch
Or simple sound
Could be the ticket
That turns me around

To You I Do


by rhonda


I choose you
No longer alone
Why take this journey
On my own

Within each day
From here to there
It’s you I choose
I wish to share

Through thick and thin
I hope you’re in
Life’s ups and downs
With my friend around

Much love I have
To give away
To you I do
It’s here to stay!

Purple Christmas Trees


by rhonda


For many years
I stayed at home
It’s there I lived
Where I have grown

My family close
My people near
All I have learned
Is what I hear

When Christmas came
Each year to me
Daddy put up
Our purple tree

I never questioned
Never asked
I knew this tree
From Christmas past

A purple tree
Is what I see
I only know
What I have been shown

Then I met you
You showed to me
The most unusual Christmas tree
It took some time

For me to see
A different way’
New shades of green
So please be patient

Do not be mean
The purple tree
Is all I have seen?

NO GIFT WILL DO


When giving gifts
We pick and choose
Considering time
Money and use

Candies, cakes
Flowers too
If nothing else
A card will do

A gift for me
A gift for you
No pretty box
Nor bag will do

Weddings, birthdays
See you soon’s
This gift you’ll always
Have with you

More than a book
With words to view
It’s a happy healthy
Beautiful you!

Where ever you go
Whatever you do
Please take this love
Along with you
