When We Were Together
By Jodi Reimer
When we were together oh the laughs we shared
When we were together how much I believed you cared
When we were together all the fun we had
When we were together....now it makes me sad.
When we were together I held on tight
When we were together it felt so right
When we were together I loved you from the start
When we were together I never thought you could break my heart
Oh
When we were together my hopes and dreams were so high
When we were together...oh now I want to cry
When we were together I never wanted to hurt you or cause you any pain
Now I do..:but what would I gain?
When we were together my heart and mind loved you so


When we were together..:.why did you have to let me go?
When we were together my life seemed so grand
When we were together you gave me chills just holding my hand
Those are all in the past and I need to move on
For you've moved on and found someone new
But I just can't help admitting that I still think about you
Oh
I want to change time and go back
Even though I know I need to focus and not loose track
Oh
If I hold on to the past and don't let go
The right one won't come and I will never know
So even though it's hard for me to say....
I thank you in every way
I've Learned a lot from this
So long farewell goodbye as I seal it with a kiss.

A cardinal flew past me today
Because he wanted my attention.
Cardinals mean someone in heaven is thinking of you.
Did you know that? And did you also know that
Emeralds are green.
Fish are scaly, slimy, and can be mean.
Grass is green in summer and brown in late fall.
Hay isn't just for horses even though it's inside their stall.
Ice cream is delicious, and I love it so.
Jelly beans are very popular at Easter and then they seem to go.
Kittens are so adorable and playful, it's true.
Lambs say baa and their mom is called a ewe.
Monkeys swing from trees with their arms.
Night owls hoot and can live on a farm.
Opossums hang upside down.
Penguins are black and white, and they don't wear a crown.
Questions find answers.
Restaurants are great places to eat.
S'mores are a tasty treat .
Time goes by fast when you aren't watching the clock.
Umbrellas keep us dry so we can walk around the block.
Violins make beautiful music with their strings and a bow.
Watermelon seed spitting is something you never outgrow.
X-rays make our bones visible to
Doctors -
Yikes.
Zebras are black and white.

The ABC poem has ended and I bid you goodnight.

A friend is someone who will always be there.
A friend is someone who will always care
When you're feeling happy or sad,
Sometimes even when you're mad.
A friend will lend a shoulder or loan their ear,
Because to a friend, you are very dear.
A friend will be there in all your days.
A friend is someone who doesn't stray.
In laughs and tears,
A friend shares in your life throughout the years.
When things don't seem like they're going right,
A friend will be there to reassure in the darkest night.
When you feel like you're falling apart,
A friend will come to you and help heal your heart.
A friend is someone who will lend a hand
While you lie in confusion or just don't understand.
A friend shows you the way right from the start.
A friend is someone from whom you never want to part.
So, thank you for all that you do.
It's a blessing to have a friend like you.

A mother loves right from the start,
No matter if her children are near or far apart.
A mother gives never-ending love.
She gives us comfort and peace like a beautiful dove.
For us she will always do her best,
Even when we put her patience to the test.
She wipes our tears,
Chases away our fears,
Encourages us to follow a dream,
No matter how far-fetched it may seem.
Her gifts can never compare to any other.
I am so honored to call her my mother.
Looking back on another year,
I was so lucky to have a mother so dear.
So Mom, on your special day, relax and enjoy
And always know that I couldn't have asked for any other
More incredible person to call my mother.
I love you, Mom!
Happy Mother's Day
