During interviews and general conversations with the public,one of the most difficult questions for me to answer(timely and thoroughly) is,"Why do you enjoy writing"?So due to the challenge manifested in such a question,I pondered on creating an answer. Many reasons came to mind,but after digesting much"time for thought",I managed to condense my response to three items. I enjoy writing for three reasons: self-expression,personal sensitivity and thirst for adventure."Self-expression" is our Creator's gift to all-everyone has something to say. The difference comes with how a person expresses him or herself. Having an outlet to relieve ones inner turmoil or joy is... Read More
Growing hurts sometimes; saying goodbye to friends, to things you've known and done to things you wanted to do. Growing heals sometimes the shattered dreams and hopes of a life you once knew leading you to a new knowledge of yourself. Growing is fun sometimes meeting new friends learning new things making changes that feel good and moving on. Growing is necessary always. Without change there is stagnation death instead of life. To choose to... Read More
How wonderfully sweet to be a dweller dwelling on the road of goodbye. Bittersweet tears fall as I think of all the places I'll never see, all the faces I'll never know, all the joys I'll never share, as I head for the unknown. I have lived life as best I could, met challenges head on, drawing strength from an unseen source. You cannot come with me on this journey you can only stand and watch, sometimes the more difficult task. I know what I must... Read More
FIND the MAGICFind the Magic As you release old bondage Come out of hiding And see the starsFind the Magic As you expose the pain Let the tears flow And find beauty in your bodyFind the Magic As you scream from the beating Run from the threats And feel the warmth of a hugFind the Magic As the little girl is silenced Told she is too smart for her own good And she finds her place of honor as she speaks her mindFind the Magic As the ghosts creep into dream Haunt your daily life And you meet them at...

Ocean Heal MeOcean heal my wounds Let your waves curl and foam on my body Wash away blood, heal scarsOcean renew me with your power As unceasingly you roll Giving strength that's been drainedOcean keep me warm Wrap me in your brine Caress me with your tidesOcean disperse my tears As they flow in you I cleanse my soulOcean let me grow in your depths Color me vibrant blue, coral, green Clear = revitalizedOcean your spray anoints me Cool and refreshed My spiritual renewalOcean be my friend Hold me flowing in your currents Ever moving, ever changingOcean, heal me.© 1983...

now is not the time to open open that great door again not the time to be more tolerant not the time to play to winnow is not the time for justice evolution mercy choices not the time to pet the puppies yipping with pathetic voicesnow is not the time for kindness not the time for compromise not the time for loving blindness not the time to close my eyesnow for one too many people not that i have gained no good heart has sown but flesh is reaping tears to mind and wasted bloodnow my inner wolf seeks equals...

JOINEDHeart beat of man pounding - yet unheard joined becomes the beat of a nation.Words of man written - yet unread joined becomes a proclamation.Sounds of man spoken - yet unheard joined becomes a production .Lines of man drawn - yet unrecognized joined becomes an illustration.Beings of man humming - yet forgotten joined becomes a celebration.Patterns of man created - yet invisible joined becomes a new universe.Joined we become recognized.Susan "Sue" Bacon Trumpfheller is an author, teacher, researcher and coach.

She probably can't remember and I know I can never forget...the first time I saw her like that I was only nine years-oldnot naive by any stretchhaving seen my share of tragedy-my parent's bitter battles in my first five years of lifethen the inevitable end of their marriagebut not before 700 days of devastation called divorcethat destroyed dreams and deeply damaged heartsI had no idea life could get worse... But it did - The day I found her passed out cold on the living room floorI thought she was sleeping at firstIn fact I swore she was just sound... Read More
I will never think twice nor will I roll the dice When it comes to my life I will take my Grannio's adviceYou play the hand you're dealt when it comes to who will be your Dad - But if you bluff about a card's face value for too many years you forget you had - No Aces or King of Hearts in your original deck - But rather a worthless Joker-So Wild and Mad...You can ask yourself why for another 20 years but you'll never understand how a Joker has no fears...Not about losing his kids, his freedom nor...

When I hear your voice inside my head it makes me think of you every single day as I fight back tears of sadness and wonder if you're okayMy life is empty without you I wish time would take away the pain but the ache in my heart persists and my simple hopes seem in vainI realize how much I hurt you and now I know it's too late to tell you how sorry I am and expect you not to hateI don't deserve a second chance to show you how much I care when you needed me the most...

She raised me like I was her own daughter from the day I was born 32 years ago.She loved me like nobody else has ever loved me in my life.She stood by through the most difficult days I've ever known.She showed me more unconditional love and support than I've ever imagined.She taught me how to live, how to love, how to be a lady, how to be a mommy and how to survive.For 78 years, she had always been as healthy and stubborn as a mule.About a year ago she stood by my side and fought tooth and nail to...

You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.No matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.It's not what you have - it's who you have in your life that counts.You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.It's taken me a long time to become the person I want to be. You should always leave loved ones with loving words - It may be the... Read More
I never thought I would have to say GOODBYE to my best friend? But that's what I had to do today I had to let go of her forever ?There was no other way For me to face reality Or pretend to be okay I had no concept ?Of how hard it would be To actually let go Of this huge part of me? Not tomorrow or ever ?Will my life be the same Without my Grannio here Life seems to be a game ? Of chance and questions?Questions that never end And have no answers That can begin to... Read More
My life has changedin so so many waysIt seems to always bein a state of disarray... Without you here by my side to hold my hand and be my guide... I feel like I'm lost...wandering through each daywaiting and hoping and prayingthat you come to me in some way.... I need you to tell me that it everything will be okay...If anyone else is saying itI never hear them on any day... Nobody will ever be what You were to me...It breaks my heart to knowthat I will never see... Your tender face againOr touch your fragile bodyand feel your... Read More
There are many times I set up barriers and walls, invisible unless you come too close, And then you hit them.You wonder what happened.You didn't know, I can't let you in.I've lost the key to open the doors in the walls, and I don't know how To take them down.Fran Watson Copyright © 2003For more poetry and stories you can go to Fran's webpage http://www.franwatson.ca...

I cannot bear to think of when you will be gone.I do not understand how I will get along.Your love has been my resting place, the place that I would go, no matter what, no matter where your love would always flow.A simple call a quick hello, Where have you been?What do you know?Just to touch base and share a laugh a smile or two, a joke or gaffe.What will I do when you are gone?Who will I call?There is no other quite like you no other love that's half as true.no one could do the things you've done, no...

I am not the one I was before yesterday.I cannot go back.I am not the one I will be tomorrow.I can not see that far ahead.I am who I am now, today.The person I see in the mirror changing so subtly, but changing, becoming a new person minute by minute day by day.The possibilities are endless, but I must choose which way I will change, each decision I make changes me in some way, positively or negatively.Let me open myself to good changes, to positive steps, happy feelings.Let me open my heart to others that their joy and experiences may...
