Wedding Poems: Wishing Wells, Gifts and Memorial (2)

Alone Again
Poem by Bonnie Carnahan


Some days the road once traveled is a saddened trail,
Some days it's roses and it feels so good just to be alive.

Some days we feel like no one is out there who cares,
And your the only one left to pick up the broken pieces
life has left you to deal with.

Love can be such a wondrous thing and it can also
hurt like a thorn; pricking every feeling and emotion
left inside you.

Sometimes love just stinks and other times
it makes one feel warm and tingly inside.

When the love is gone...
The hurt begins for one or both...
Someone always gets hurt in the end.

Two hearts beating as one...
Two hearts now broken apart.

As the story goes,
I found myself falling in love...
And now I find myself falling apart.

Love can be grand...
It can also tear you apart until you
feel like you can't go on.

You left when I needed you the most...
But I am strong and I will mend and
fall in love all over again.

Dedicated to Sandy, my friend.


Moments In Time
Poem by Bonnie Carnahan


A drop of rain falls upon
a rose bud and blooms into
a wondrous site.

The sky forms clouds of rain...
And a beautiful rainbow fills up the whole sky.

A child is born...
And the angels joyously
sing about.

A woman and man meet
for the very first time...
They both fall in love instantly.

An elderly woman breathes her last breath
here on earth...
An angel gets her wings and
soars down upon earth...
Spreading all the loving memories for her family
left behind.

A war breaks out...
Many men die and see the guiding light...
God guides their poor lost souls
to the path of what is right.

The earth continues on it's
daily chore...
Growing richer and fuller
with each moonlight night.

Special moments in time remembered...
Cherished times stored and
never forgotten.


Children
Poem by Bonnie Carnahan


Children are so sweet and dear,
Like sponges, soaking in
everything they see and hear.

With eyes glistening when
spoken to them...
While enjoying every moment
shared with them.

So young and innocent...
A rarity that will never
be retrieved again.

To be young again...
Alive with many thoughts...
Dreams never ending...
Fearless of the unknown.

If I could turn back the
hands of time...
I would have done things
differently.

Conquered the world...
Or became the president...
Maybe I would have just made
a slight difference...
But my greatest joy would
be to put a smile on a friends
face.

Let the children enjoy their time...
For it won't last but a short while...
Laughing, playing and just having
a lot of fun.

Young, innocent, naive....
Learning, growing, so much to achieve.

If you could see through a child's
eyes, what would you see?
