When you are not here I miss you.
I love you with all my heart.
When you are here with me I am happiest,
Even if times are hard and money is low.
...

When you wake up know it's true.
Tell yourself to be strong and carry on.
Take a deep breath and know he's watching you right now.
He wants you to know he's still protecting his family.

This was written to my and about my cousin Denise. She is one of the most wonderful people I have known my whole life. I know I have been blessed to have her in my life. If it wasn't for her I don't believe I would be the person I am today. She introduced poetry to me and I have evolved over the years as a writer. She lives a few states away and I love her so much and I want to share it with the world! I was reading poetry she wrote I was so overcome with emotion I wrote this.

You keep making me cry and wishing you were here.
Sometimes is is suffocating in knowing you are there.
...

This poem was inspired by my cousin Jen. She is one of the smartest people I know and she has made some great accomplishments and I am proud of her.

To look at a person with such pride.
It is what many yearn for in life.
...

This was the first poem I ever wrote. I was only thirteen and this was a new way to express myself.

Love is like the ocean, it’s pure like the salts and minerals within.
When a heart is broken all is calm in the depths of it.
...

You look in the paper you watch the news.
You think of all you had to loose.
It’s just another homicide they say.
Just like it’s starting off another day.
...

When life throws it's massive curveballs like it's known to do.

Don't feel all alone in the world 'cause I'll be here for you.
...

I Cheerish waking up by your side each morning.

Each day enjoying your company.
...

Can you tell me why?
Why we had to say goodbye?
I just don't understand,
Why this had to happen to such a sweet young man.
...

love is the ocean.
Love is the sea.
Love is for you.
Love is for me.
...

Sorry if I ever hurt you.
I don't want to see you cry.
I'm not worth a single tear
dropp that falls from your eyes.
...

I walk down the road of fear.
Soon wishing you were near.
You hear of the pain, the sarrow.
Wishing it would all be gone by tomorrow.
...

Woke up one morning.
It wasn't a dream.
I felt empty inside.
Life isn't at all what it seems.
...

...

She is here to hold us.
Nothing she will say.
For her soul is all around us.
But, her body here it lay.
...

I can't hold on any longer to your hand.
I have to let go and walk on alone.
In search of myself once in the moonlight.
Lost in relations not meant to be.
...

Look all around us.
What can you see?
Did you know about the angels?
Do you see one in me?
...

For what seemed a life time I searched for love.
Each corner I turned made me feel hopeless.
When I thought my search would never end,
I looked into your eyes and there I found it.
...

Prejudice takes a large role in life.
Ignorance is known in many people.
Just because the style of clothes,
the color of hair, the color of skin.
...

We were once the closest of friends.
Watching out for one another.
One guy, one girl we thought forever.
You were in a real important part of my life.
...
