FILL MY HEART
I found the problem
I have a hole in my heart
When I close my eyes
I keep falling apart
I have a hole in my heart
When I close my eyes
I keep falling apart
I don't have the tools
To fix this hole
The pain I feel
Seeps deep into my soul
To fix this hole
The pain I feel
Seeps deep into my soul
Come to me
Take my hand
Follow my footsteps
Across the sand
Take my hand
Follow my footsteps
Across the sand
Come with me
Step into the ocean
You'll be my woman
I'll be your man
Step into the ocean
You'll be my woman
I'll be your man
I see the sun
Rising from the shore
Making a shadow
Around the open door
Rising from the shore
Making a shadow
Around the open door
I feel your warmth
As it touches my heart
I taste your smile
As we watch the stars
As it touches my heart
I taste your smile
As we watch the stars
Come to me
Take my hand
Follow my footsteps
Across the sand
Take my hand
Follow my footsteps
Across the sand
Come with me
Step into the ocean
You'll be my woman
I'll be your man
Step into the ocean
You'll be my woman
I'll be your man
You'll be my woman
I'll be your man
I'll be your man
........Come with me

STORM
I'm on a boat
In the middle of the ocean
The winds are blowing
We are sinking
The waves are crashing
across the bow
Salt runs down my face
Where are you now?
Panic pounds through my chest
I cannot breathe
The water is rising
Above my sleeves
I see you now
walking above the waves
You touch my hand
And now I'm brave
It happens again
I'm falling down
The storms too tough
I'm gonna drown
I cannot stand up
to my anxiety
I'm going to sink
Into the sea
You grab my arms
And pull me out
You stand on water
The storm moves south
I'm on a boat
In the middle of the ocean
The winds are blowing
We are sinking
The waves are crashing
across the bow
Tears runs down my face
Where are you now?
.....I open my eyes
To another day
You whisper to me
Have faith, don't be afraid

Dreams From My Pen
We've been together
For fourteen years
Through thick and thin
You are still here
We've had our ups and downs
Laughing, crying
I remember the times
You felt like flying
I look back at the beginning
When we were just friends
Writing words of discover
Dreams from a pen
You smiled when we met
I melt like butter
When our eyes met
I wanted to discover
A life with the girl
I met from Cebu
Suddenly, I found myself
Falling in love with you
I gave you a ring
Along with my heart
I had nothing else to give you,
But you were the missing part
Of this puzzle
I'd been trying to put together
You didn't understand me,
But you made me better
We've spent years
Trying to figure this out
Two beautiful children
Growing up in this house
Our worlds clashed at times
We didn't always know what to do
You would hurt me
I would hurt you
What I have learned
Is I wouldn't change a thing
I knew what I was doing
When I gave you that ring
Life is hard at times
We all make mistakes
It's what we learn
That makes the future great
I look forward to all those days
When you smile at me again
This is my hope
The dreams from my pen
For fourteen years
Through thick and thin
You are still here
We've had our ups and downs
Laughing, crying
I remember the times
You felt like flying
I look back at the beginning
When we were just friends
Writing words of discover
Dreams from a pen
You smiled when we met
I melt like butter
When our eyes met
I wanted to discover
A life with the girl
I met from Cebu
Suddenly, I found myself
Falling in love with you
I gave you a ring
Along with my heart
I had nothing else to give you,
But you were the missing part

But you made me better
We've spent years

I look forward to all those days

This is my hope

Crazy
Hey doctor
what is wrong with me?
Am I crazy?
Or is it just anxiety?
I hate germs
I cannot sleep
I may just kill you
While You're busy counting sheep
You tell me to fight
My fears and OCD
You give me the tools
To make me a better me
I obsess about things
I don't understand
I don't want to be here,
but I need your helping hand
Hey doctor
What is wrong with me?
Am I crazy
Or is it just anxiety?

Sleep Where Are You?
Sleep where are you?
You used to be my friend
Now my heart pounds
And my thoughts never end
I used to love pillows
Blankets and beds
Now I take drugs
Just to lay down my head
Sleep where are you?
I know you’ll find me
We used to be buddies
Where can you be?
You don’t call me
In the middle of the night
You make me sweat it
This just isn’t right
Sleep where are you?
Come back to me
Give me eight hours
Instead of just three
I’m stuck with insomnia
Your evil twin
Can we start over?
Can we be friends?
.......Sleep where are you?

KastKing Ranger Portable Telescopic Fishing Rods Review
KastKing® Ranger travel spinning fishing rods telescope out and completely collapse for easy travel and storage. These travel rods have CNC machined aluminum reel seat components and three point welded stainless steel guides with ceramic inserts for complete corrosion resistance. 24 ton special carbon matrix and E-Glass construction can deadlift up to 10 pounds and provide great sensitivity. KastKing® telescopic spinning fishing rods are for saltwater or freshwater fishing, will cover many species, and look great with any KastKing® fishing reels. KastKing® telescoping travel fishing rods are especially great for backpackers and campers
This telescopic fishing rod is compact, easy to put into a full size fishing pole, strong and durable. It took a little twisting to tighten the rod into place. It took a little bit of time to connect the reel, but this would be perfect for a camping trip. I believe it took me two or three minutes to get the fishing pole .ready, except for the line, which I didn't pull through because I wasn't ready to use the pole. We are lucky because we have fresh. water and salt water within an hour from our house. I actually have a lake in back of my house, but the fish seem to be hiding or gone. We also have plenty of camping place where you can fish. I really look forward to taking this telescopic fishing rod with me when we go to the pier in St. Petersburg or under one of the many bridges where you can fish. I have a Honda Fit, so this pole is the perfect one to bring with me everywhere I go.

Also, the DuraBlend Mono Leaders offer great properties anglers expect in a high-quality leader such as low stretch and outstanding clarity
- Produced using only the strictest of quality control, this high-quality DuraBlend Mono Leader features very low memory characteristics. Remains very soft and flexible, while maintaining a high tensile strength-to-diameter ratio, resulting in a smaller, stronger line that gives you more reel capacity for fighting hard-charging game fish
- Innovative keeper package protects the line and affords quick, tangle-free availability, maximizing your efficiency while on the water
The cost is low, this sinks easily and it works as well as all of the other higher priced lines. We will be using this and more of Kastking lines for our fishing needs in the future. We are enjoying their products so much, that a friend and I are beginning to look at fishing boats. I remember having a flounder snap my line before using this leader and now I feel safer and more sure I will pull the fish in.

Yearning for Sunshine
I woke up this morning
To a sad and cloudy day
The wind was roaring
I fell on my knees to pray
My heart was pounding
Sweat was running down my face
my thoughts wandered
to a dark and lonely place
I jumped up
I paced around the room
The storm was pounding
thunder hit with a great boom
The rain made puddles
Pouring down my cheeks
The clouds grew angry
With another lightning streak
I prayed to God
To take this storm away
I couldn't take
another lonely day
.....I woke up this morning
The clouds had disappeared
A glimmer of hope
Is replacing all my fears
