Where'd you go? Somewhere beyond the stars? Somewhere where the sun never sets and pain never enters your body? Some place where death will no longer whisper your name? Some place where you are no longer in pain? Are you in our hearts like they always tell us? Are you with us when things feel hard a...Read more

If I could go back to that little girl who worried about every little pain every little worry, I would. If I could go back to that little teenager who swore love didn't exist. I'd show her how I now wear a wedding ring on my left hand. Married to an amazing man who loves me for who I am. If I could ...Read more

We used to hang out on Fridays watch old movies and talk about life. I knew how you liked your coffee and your dark confessions. I knew the meaning of your tattoos. You were the Thelma to my Louise. We have pictures, text messages and old memories. (Chorus) The kind that you miss when you're sittin...Read more

(chorus)Love letters on wet paper liars and cheaters. You're a man with devil horns. You say your sorry but she's changed her mind and her heart's flashing no Vacancy. You've broken her heart for the last time. You promised you'd change but you lied. You really made her believe that she doesn't des...Read more

My heart is deep within the West Virginia mountains. My soul comes alive when I go hiking in the woods. My bare feet walk on the West Virginia clay. Everyone wants beaches and wild parties but I want to fish where my soul roams free. Some want to feel the sand beneath their feet. Me, I want to feel...Read more

Tonight I lay here in the arms of my husband and I think of her. The woman who lost her husband and watched as he was assassinated right in front of her eyes. She will never hear him say "I love you" again. She won't share a kiss with him or hold his hand. She will forever remember September tenth. ...Read more

You were the voice of a generation. The voice of one who couldn't speak. You stood for your beliefs even when the enemy was in your face. You didn't shy away or back down. You stood your ground and fought with the sword of truth. You debated people who didn't like you. You had conversations with peo...Read more

Her voice is gentle yet she is fierce. She's as kind as anyone, anyone has ever met. She's strong but she stands her ground. She's as lovely as a spring time meadow. Have you ever been out in the cold and the warm sun shines down on your face? That warmth you feel that is her. Her eyes shine bright ...Read more

I miss me. The old me. The kind, caring, loving, goofy me. The me who went out her way to be a friend. Before I discovered what fake friends really were. The me who would stay up all night listening to someone vent about the same old stuff because I didn't want them to be alone. The extroverted me w...Read more

My country is divided. One side hates the other and the other side hates everyone. We used to be a country united. Now we seem to be falling by the way side .Treat others the way you want to be treated? Now we are taught that if you don't agree with someone, you hate them. They don't teach us our ri...Read more

Now that you were laid to rest. My faith is being put to the test. You were so very sick. You went very quick. I had to watch you die. Even though it made me cry. To wonder where you went. I wish you could give me a hint. I didn't want to say goodbye at the time. For you to be here, I'd give my last...Read more

As I look at you I feel ashamed. Because I couldn't protect you from the things I should have been able to. I let people walk all over you. Yet you always remained kind. I'm disappointed in myself for not standing up to the bully that stared you in the face promising to make your life a living hell....Read more

Her advice has all been right. Her hugs take away the pain. She gives and gives even when she has nothing to gain. To k...Read more

The hills of West Virginia,my heart swells with pride Where I come from I do not have to hide. The beautiful colors of gold and blue. Also green and white too. Where we love our family and our pet ducks. We ride in our Daddy's old Chevy trucks. Where we are proud of our old stomping ground. And the...Read more
