Silken Lies

The lies fall forth from twixt my lips

As silk slides over rounded hips

And willing ears absorb false truth

While eager lips bear bitter fruit

And innocence lies 'neath the fray

While virtue cedes evils way

Ignorance grows roots quite deep

Bearing limbs that sag and weep

Cold winds rustle through angry leaves

As darkness honesty decieves

And eyes grown weary from day's task

Cower behind their pointless mask

While all seems lost from at a glance

Take heart; believe in smallest chance

The will, the soul, will find its way

To struggle for even one more day

Thus rest your tired head in peace

Grant all your doubts and fears release

For waking brings another day

Regrets by morning dew washed 'way

Daddy

How could you hurt me Daddy?

Why did you break my heart?

Aren't I worth more Daddy?

Of more than what you did impart?

Why don't you love me Daddy?

Like a father should his child?

Why did you use me daddy?

Set me adrift as one exhiled?

Doesn't your guilt weigh heavy?

For the wreck you made of me?

Are you the least bit sorry?

Do you pray on bended knee?

Do you feel pleased now Daddy?

Does it fill your chest with pride?

Doesn't it make you worry?

That my soul has been defiled?

Why do I still love you Daddy?

Why do I seek your acceptance?

When I know you'll hurt me?

Why do I leave my needs to chance?

Am I so foolish Daddy?

That I choose to hope in vain?

Won't you just see me Daddy?

Why can't you understand my pain?

*author's note: Dedicated to Odie

Though Thanksgiving is not typically a St. Maarten Holiday - I think it should be! In fact, it should be a worldwide Holiday where people put all differences aside and come together in spirit in being thankful for what we have...however much, or little it may be.





I'm thankful today for my children, my parents, my friends and my job. I'm thankful for life, with all it's ups and downs. I'm thankful for all that God in his infinite wisdom has given me.





And I'm thankful for you....
