    I have over the past up and down years
    come to realize just how much I miss you
    There has been much laughter and tears
    Both troubles and treasured times too
    but since 1993 it’s been a shitstorm
    With not enough right and to much wrong
    thinking you were an asswipe was the norm
    Guess I was just part of the gathering throng
    Well today we are swirling in the toilet bowl
    I miss you Tricky Dick Nixon heart and soul
    😛

    What Is It Like?

    What is it like, way up there?
    Do you have a worry, do you have a care?
    Are you surrounded by angelic beings?
    And loved ones greeting you…is that what you’re seeing?

    Are you free from all sorrow, loneliness & pain?
    Delivered from all sadness & worldy shame?
    Do you smile with regret as you softly gaze back?
    Wishing you could tell us our faith is on track?

    We mortals can but imagine that which you now know
    For God has limited to us what He will show
    Imaginations & ponderings is all we can see
    Until we join you when our souls too will be free

    Thou I miss you dearly my love remains strong
    And we will be together soon, I know it won’t be long
    Till then I tarry living the message from above
    To share in kindness, gratitude & love

    As I gaze to yr new home in this star-filled sky
    I know there was never be a need to say goodbye
    The comfort in my soul tells me everything is alright
    For each time I think of you, my heart fills with light

    Just for fun, there was a humor bit I performed once in the late 1950s, a list of top ten pop hits in a newscast. One was “Missing You” by the Rifles :mrgreen:

    On hallows eves I will celebrate my fathers passing.
    I miss him so dearly.
    My thoughts are so clearly .
    For I love him so much.
    I can’t wait to talk to him from heaven.
    I wait all year for this time.
    The veil will left and let the souls come out to see us again.
    I love Halloween for remembrance .
    My father was a great man.
    A hero to our land.
    He was everything to me.
    And still is.
    I feel his presence near my heart.
    He was one that never tore me apart.
    He was a great loving father.
    He is the love of my soul.
    He is my gold at the end of a rainbow.
    He always loved me so.
    I lost him when I was five years old.
    He never got to see me grow.
    But he has always lived on through me.
    He is my father and will always be.
    I feel so close to him.
    How I remember him.
    How he loved to dance.
    My father and me will dance hallow eves.
    If only in my memory.
    My father means so much to me .
    How I miss his laughter and hugs.
    I have always wonder when I get to heaven will he know me.
    I wonder if will be the same.
    I was a young girl now I’m a woman.
    Will he remember me still to day.
    Or has time faded his memory away.
    Sorrow use to come into my soul when I thought about how much of life with out him I lost.
    But time heals all wounds so I was told.
    Time came and went the sorrow left to I found away to keep him with me.
    To hear his heart grow stronger is a blessing for me to endure .
    My soul has healed from the lost of him.
    But my spirit will never let him go.

    here you go..


    as the night became day
    as children grew to adult
    play
    we walked into a different
    way
    reality……..

  • Mary Margaret says:

    I remember
    I wait

    I wait here as the sea roars,
    here.. as the years go by more
    must I see this, you.. my final
    bliss ,wish my soul caress, kiss
    you.. are the answer, the quest
    to block the voices of the rambler..
    endless time, you cannot open
    your mind… to the beating of your
    own heart? We were the beginning…
    of our letter… you escape?
    as …I remain…. and wait!

    I miss you!

    ok guy’s here is this one…. By Blink 182… Group not by me
    unfortun I did not make this up! Wish i did it but not!

    “I Miss You”

    (I miss you, I miss you)
    Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
    The shadow in the background of the morgue
    The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
    We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
    Where you can always find me
    We’ll have Halloween on Christmas
    And in the night we’ll wish this never ends
    We’ll wish this never ends

    (I miss you, I miss you)
    (I miss you, I miss you)

    Where are you and I’m so sorry
    I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
    I need somebody and always
    This sick strange darkness
    Comes creeping on so haunting every time
    And as I stared I counted
    Webs from all the spiders
    Catching things and eating their insides
    Like indecision to call you
    and hear your voice of treason
    Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
    Stop this pain tonight

    Don’t waste your time on me you’re already
    The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
    Don’t waste your time on me you’re already
    The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
    [x3]

    (I miss you, I miss you) [x4]

    I wrote a new one this afternoon but it’s not typed up yet.
    In the meantime . . . .

    WITH US ALWAYS

    As December drizzles
    through the pre-dawn
    fog of what will be
    a gray day that will
    struggle for even one
    sunbeam through
    the drops of rain,
    my thoughts wander
    in directions that
    are always difficult
    for me to contain
    during this season.
    And on a morning such as this,
    mixed feelings find their way
    into my heart once again,
    as my sense of happiness
    and well-being for what is
    again meets that underlying
    sense of loss for what was.
    And while I may shed
    silent tears in my heart
    for those who won’t be
    gathering around the table
    on Christmas Day this year,
    I know that I will hear
    their voices if I listen
    very closely to the
    joyful noise of
    the conversation
    around the table.

    And as the rain
    continues to fall
    just before dawn,
    I still feel their presence
    in my heart and I know
    that they’re with us still
    and will be smiling
    and singing joyfully
    right along with us
    as we celebrate
    another Christmas
    around the tree
    and at the Holiday table.

    Along a different train of thought . . . .

    ON DAYS LIKE THAT

    Sometimes I’m convinced
    that the well has run dry,
    the ink all dried up,
    no words left inside.

    On days like that
    I search high and low,
    in the favorite places
    where the words love to hide.
    I listen for them as they laugh
    and tell jokes
    and I know they must
    just be playing around,
    though on a day like today
    they still seem so far away.

    On days like that
    I so very much miss
    the friends that I love
    to play word games with.

    So on days like that,
    on days like today,
    I turn on the music
    and hum along
    with the tunes;
    I open the windows
    and let the fresh air in;
    I step outside
    into the morning sun
    and stroll through the garden
    and listen to the birds sing.

    And the words
    that I thought
    were hiding away
    in places I thought
    were so very remote
    finally come out to play
    in the light of the day.
    The friends that I thought
    were missing are found
    and together we dance
    across the lines of blank pages,
    happily filling them up
    before they play
    hide-and-seek again.

    MISSING YOU

    I miss you
    In more ways
    Than none
    I miss your voice
    When you say
    Hello
    I miss your eyes
    When you are not
    Lookin
    My way
    I miss your smile
    When you are away
    I miss the warmth
    Of your hands
    When you are
    Not holdin mine
