Misker's Den Reflections

Dear Readers;

Below is a selection of 3 poems written by my daughter Tonya (Voodood). She has been published 3 times and loves to write. The first one "Heart To Heart" was written by her for me to give to my husband Ralph when we were going through some rough times The second one "The Little Things" is one she wrote for her husband Mike when they were going through rough times the third one "A Country Through Unity", she wrote as a school project when she went back to earn her GED , which she did in the top of her class!!! I hope you will enjoy these. Just a little look inside my daughters heart and soul and her beliefs.

Heart To Heart

   Could we talk
   Heart to Heart
   Before we completely
   fall apart?
   Could we love
   Heart to Heart
   Even though we've both
   Begun with a new start?

   Even if we can't
   Stay married
   Can we keep the love
   That for years we've carried?
   Can't we at least
   Stay friends
   And love Heart to Heart
   Until the end?

   You still touch me
   In the depths of my heart
   To lose you completely
   Would tear me apart.
   Despite our divorce
   The love will stay
   Heart to Heart
   That's the way!

THE LITTLE THINGS

   It's the little things
   That I miss,
   Like the way you used to
   sneak up and steal a kiss.
   The way your arms
   wrapped around me so secure
   every time that I would
   shed a tear.
   The long conversations
   the dreams that we shared,
   the smile that showed me
   how much you cared.

   The familiar body
   on the other side of the bed,
   the warm chest
   on which I layed my head.
   The laughter
   we used to share
   over the little things
   that were just there.

   It's the little things
   like our girls two,
   how very much they
   remind me of you.
   I remember the day
   to this world each one came
   I had never loved you so much
   and the look on your face
   said you felt the same.

   Yes its the little things
   that I miss
   like sitting over coffee
   and sharing our memories like this.

A Country --- Through Unity!

   Lost in a world
   Of Morals
   Versus society,
   Makes each day
   A struggle
   For simple people
   Like you and me.

   A world of politics
   And democracy
   Simple folks
   That's all we want to be.

   You cannot change
   A world built on political power.
   By complaining about it
   Hour upon hour.

   We must stand together
   All of society
   For maybe then
   We can change this place
   Through unity!

   Rewrite the laws
   Based on Morals
   Change our representatives
   From money to real fellows.
   Call this country
   a family
   Then we will see
   Positive change
   THROUGH UNITY !!
