OUR FEATURED SINGERS: Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - "I NEED YOU"
Welcome to my homepage. All my loved ones and friends call me Tee. This page was made the only way possible..from the heart. I have collected many wonderful pictures of those who are dear and close to me, as well as places where I have been. Here you will also find some of the greatest poetry that has been written by pure and true artists. It is an honor to know them and an even greater honor to have the privilege of adding their poetry to my homepage.
OUR PRECIOUS GIFTS
Our children are so precious and dear,
We tend to hold them very tight and near.
We know deep down in our hearts that they are only gifts loaned to us,
Yet when the time comes to let them go, why do we make such a fuss?
It is quite simple and clear,
We are full of many doubts and fear.
Such innocence to possess when entering the world of so many possibilities,
We can only pray that they face numerous great times and very little hostilities.
We sit back and remember their childhood years,
Their first steps, first words and first tears.
Then we find ourselves wondering if we taught them well,
We can only come to one conclusion: "Time will tell."
They will come to us when they are in distress or in need,
For they know we are there to help them succeed.
Though they may stumble and fall,
They will brush themselves off and stand tall.
So let your hearts be full of joy and pride,
Rest your mind at ease and know that they are now ready for the world "outside".

CROSSING PATHS
Days go by and they turn into months then years,
Many people come into our lives everyday.
With them they bring happiness and tears,
Paths cross and a few have made their stay.
There are many reasons for those who have entered into our lives and hearts,
Some we cannot find an explanation as to why, yet there are those that we can and we cherish them dearly.
Learn from those whose paths have crossed yours
even if they quickly part,
Gather all the knowledge and tuck it away safely.
Love that is given to you sincerely cannot be wrong,
Lavish in it, let it engulf your whole being and soul.
Love is the greatest gift that can be given and it shall fill your heart with a soft, peaceful song,
If ever there is pain, experience and feel it,
then let it go.
Everything has a purpose in your life,
Not every occurrence shall be good, for the
bad is lingering heavily in the air.
The good will hold you safely and the bad
will cut you like a knife,
Take everything in strive that comes your way
and always remain sincere.
Set your heart and soul free like a leaf blowing
in the breeze,
You'll never know where it may land or who you may meet.
Cherish every second, minute and hour that is given to you with ease,
Life can be full of so much beauty and people
who are ever so sweet.
Reach for the stars above but, most of all,
Learn, Live and Love!

UNTOUCHABLE LOVE
As sure as the wind blows,
An untouchable love grows.
Is it a love that is only found in dreams?
Is it actually all that it seems?
Danger lurks so close that it braises our soul,
Yet we feel no fear and trudge forward to reach for what makes us whole.
Words replace touch, songs fill emptiness, pictures erase distance,
Hopes rise high and become our very existence.
In a blink of an eye, reality kicks in,
This untouchable love has become nothing but a sin.
Love is not love when it's not given freely,
Wake from your dream, open your eyes and find
true love that is unleashed and given sincerely.

*Never let your heart love one that is spoken for. Yours shall be the last one loved and the first one broken.
Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Who I Am
I am not a puppet on a string or a porcelain doll that you can put on a shelf...
I am a human being with feelings, thoughts and movement...
For one to try to manipulate or think for me is one that I call a FOOL...
I have taken a stand in this world and I shall be heard very clearly...
I am who I am and if one cannot accept me for me, then please, move on...
I have crawled deep within my heart and soul not only to find scars of pain but to also find peace and tranquillity...
I often wondered what it was that made me tick and what a wonderful surprise I did find...
I am one who goes with the punches and accepts all that comes my way...
I take a lot to heart and now have learned to toss out what I feel should not be allowed in...
I love people for who they are and not for what I feel they should be...
I take the good with the bad...After all, isn't that what makes us a who we are...
For one to judge another, is for one not to see their own faults...
I can honestly say that the few who have said they loved me did not, for they truly did not know me...
The world has become oblivious to how it use to be and how it should be...
We have forgotten our true priorities and real values...
It is time to open our eyes and see what it is that is truly important...
Remember that old saying: Make Love and Not War�...
Time to get back to the basics and enjoy life to it's fullest...
I am far from being perfect and, goodness, will never claim to be...
I am, though, one who has opened their eyes to see all that I have lost...
Now is the time for me to gather up all that has been misplaced and put it back into its correct space and perspective...
I have control of my life and who I shall permit into it...
There is a philosophy that I live by and believe in: "For every negative, there is always a positive"...
As I see it, if I allow you to knock me down once, that is my mistake, but if I allow you to knock me down twice, then the laughs on me...
So, cut the strings that hold me prisoner and let me free...take me off the shelf, dust me off and let me be "ME".

"When The Last Teardrop Falls"
It's so hard to lose the one you love
To finally have to say goodbye
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry
Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone
When the last tear drop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side
Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end, baby
Always Suzy562
MY HERO
You are my strength, my encouragement, my dreams and my soul,
Without you in my life, I could not possibly be whole.
You have given me so many reasons to greet each day,
Everything that you do is always done in a very special way.
You have picked me up when I have fallen and I thought it was the end,
My tears you have dried and my heart you have mend.
You are my calm, my warmth and my security,
You have given me your heart that is filled with truth and purity.
When I cannot see clearly, you are my guiding light,
Only then can I pick up the pieces and make things right.
Soon we shall hold each other and never let go,
Together we shall watch our love blossom and grow.
Hold me in your arms when my body quivers and sways.
For you, my darlin, are My Hero for always.

If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time On the Internet we did meet and a wonderful friendship did grow,
We shared feelings of happiness, sadness and moments of closeness.
Neither one of us thought that this could be possible...for we did not know,
These boxes made of computer chips could bring such joy and gladness.
Through many miles and over large bodies of water, our hearts created a tight bond,
A special love was formed and an admiration for each other grew stronger each passing day.
We made a promise that our true friendship would never be broken nor would it end,
Now I have lost you, your heart shattered, through tears and pain, I cannot find the right words to say.
All that we have endured together is now gone and only memories shall linger for a great while,
Time has finally come to a standstill and I cannot find the strength to make it turn once more.
If I could turn back the hands of time, I would mend your broken heart and bring back your warm smile.
Instead of hearing your laughter, I only hear the slamming of a door.
It is shut so tight that I cannot enter, never to allow in my sunshine or love,
I pray that the day shall come when you will let me back in to be your true friend.
I miss you, everything about you, and it is you who I simply adore.
I cry for you...I cry for me...I cry in hopes to cleanse our hearts and souls so they may soon mend.
For now, all I can do is wait and bide my time while we are apart,
I will try to greet each day without you in it and fill in the gaps where you use to be.
Loneliness shall succumb my wholeness and darkness shall engulf my heart,
I have no one to blame but myself and only I can set myself free.

KISSES & HUGS FOR A LIFETIME
MY LITTLE TREASURE BOX
I have carefully placed in my little treasure box many assorted memories,
Memories of loved ones, good friends and a few sad tears.
I started this little treasure box when I was a little girl in hopes to store all my given blessings,
Before I knew it, it got bigger over the many years.
For in this little treasure box, you may find my first steps taken, my first words spoken and my tears of childhood lessons,
There are my Mom�s warm hugs, my siblings sounds of laughter and years of wonderful devotion.
You will find days of education, long walks through the woods and hours filled with lots of questions,
It holds so many dreams, goals and every imaginable emotion.
As time passed by, I grew and so did my little box of treasures,
Life seemed to have been moving so much faster, I had to quickly capture all that I could possess.
There are tears of sorrow, pain, happiness and pleasures,
Smiles of joy, astonishment, fulfillment and success.
Here you will find my first love, past love and future love,
There are many scars, yet a gleam of hope sparkles for better days to come.
I have collected the softness from the wings of the angels, the brightness from their halos and the soothing from their harps of up above,
These angels are my loved ones who have departed and are unknown to some.
I have decided to share my little treasure box with you,
Look carefully within and then you shall see all of thee.
I cannot share anything more precious than my heart that is true,
For you see, this little treasure box is only found deep inside of me.

"When Will We Wake Up and Learn From Our Mistakes?"
AN AWAKENING Without a word or even a sound,
The world around us came crashing down.
Life as we once knew it was no longer the same,
In a split second, windows shattered, floors caved in and crumbling down the buildings came.
Innocent people died with no clue that it was coming,
Survivors and families of the victims shall forever
remember this terrible warning.
Our hearts go out to the children who will never again feel their parents kisses and hugs of love,
They are merely left with pictures and memories,
for they are now found in the heavens above.
People of the world need to see the error of their ways for sure,
How many more dreadful and painful days are we to endure.
It is time to stop the hatred, misunderstandings and words of anger,
We are blindly putting ourselves in our own crucial danger.
It will not be by the hand of another country that shall make us perish,
We do not truly know that we are killing ourselves and all that we cherish.
Yes stand by your country but do not forget that this country is made up of people...you and me,
Together we should reunite through our hearts and
be thankful for being free.
Do not take life and each other for granted,
We will never know when we will loose another loved one and roses shall have to be planted.
Take the time to say I Love You , Thank You or Have a Nice Day,
The sun shall shine brighter and all good things shall come your way.
Let this tragedy not be a terrible lesson but as an awakening to all,
Love forever, hold your head high and stand ever so tall.

*A country has come to a quick halt and a heartfelt silence. So many loved ones and friends have perished and for what? Do we truly know and, if so, will we change it? It is not only crazy people in foreign countries that bring us danger and fear. It can be found in our own homes, neighborhoods and places of employment. We need to remember that we were given life and we should never take it for granted. Being harsh to another will not make you a better person or bring you prestige. One is held in high regards when they love, give their hearts and help another. Let us take the time to pray for our loved ones not only from this disaster but also for the ones amongst us that we have lost at our own hands.
"Dedicated to all the Heroic Fireman Who Were There In The Time of Need. For All The Hours Of Searching And All The Sleepless Nights Saving Others, We Lovingly Thank You. For Those Who Perished, They Shall Forever Be In Our Prayers And Memories."
A True Friend A True Friend is simply the best,
You shall forever be my first and last request.
Look into my eyes if need be,
There you shall find a reflection of thee.
I shall be there to wipe the first emerging tear,
Always know that I shall not be far but ever so near.
I shall replace your frown with a glorious smile,
Everything will be all right in a very short while.
If you should stumble and fall,
I shall pick you up and help you stand tall.
I am here to lend you an ear and shall never judge you,
That is not what my intentions are to do.
Rest assured that here is where I stand,
When in need, just reach out for my hand.
For, in me, a True Friend you have evermore,
Until the end of time, shall this real friendship
truly endure.

A THOUGHT FOR EVERYDAY
Suppose one morning you never wake up.
Do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week
and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed,
friendships that needed to be rekindled or three words needing to be said.
Sometimes "I love You" can heal & bless.
Let every one of your friends know you love them.
Even if you think they don't love you back.
You would be amazed at what those three
little words and a smile can do.
Just in case I die tomorrow...I LOVE YOU!!!
TOUCH MY HEART
I have allowed you to touch my heart,
To see the scars and to feel the love.
There is no one to blame here on earth or way up above,
It is a lesson well-learned and one that shall never part.
I have no regrets or second thoughts for what I have done,
I shall not speak a harsh word or even make a sound.
My life has not ended but has merely begun,
An old love has been lost but a new love shall be found.
I shall continue to dream of happiness,
Of days filled with bright sunshine nd colorful flowers galore.
There will never be dark clouds or gray shades of loneliness,
Only I have control of my destiny, fate and so much more.
I will give you some words of wisdom and very good advice,
Honestly and unconditionally love the one that you hold dear.
Before you do unto others, always think twice,
Love ourself first before you show someone else that you care.
Open your eyes so that all can be seen and ears so that all can be heard,
Do this and wonderful things shall come your way.
You will always see friendly smiles and forever hear a kind word,
A warmness will wrap around you and there it will stay.
If my heart is to be touched once more,
I have plainly written my words and they cannot be ignored or pushed aside.
An honest and true love is the only possible way to open its door,
Only then may you enter it gently and softly settle yourself inside.
*This poem is dedicated to those who have touched my heart. Even though they never truly saw or felt the magnitude of my love, I hold them dearly in my memories and thoughts. I have learned that true love cannot be taught, only experienced. Always remember, when you open your heart, also open your eyes or you shall miss a love of a lifetime. You cannot turn back the hands of time so seize the moment and hold onto it forever!

TEARS ON MY PILLOW
Lying in my bed all alone, nothing to hold but my soft pillow
The world keeps going on around me with no care as to how I am feeling
So lost, so confused, not knowing when all shall come crashing to a thunderous halt
Everyday has become a struggle for survival and existence
I wonder if I was brought into this world for some certain purpose
I search deep down in my soul to find what this purpose may be
I find so many scars and room for so much more to be placed there
The question is...am I strong enough to handle anymore
I always tell my loved ones that life is what you make it
Yet, I cannot make it my best
I am met with resistance, so much negativity that it chokes my whole being
I strive forward with what little positive ora I have left in my body
My pillow, my bestfriend in the darkness, catches my tears as they fall one by one
I close my eyes and dream of my love, hoping to feel his heart beat in sync with mine
Distance can only keep our bodies apart but not our spirits
I reach to touch him but only find space and emptiness
I must hold my pillow tighter...oh god, ever so tight
Succumbed by darkness and demons of the past
So much pain one must endure, loneliness engulfs me deep inside
If only I could I feel his soft touch, the gentleness of his loving hand
wiping my tears away
My body being held so close that I could feel his warmth and breath as it lightly skims across my skin
TEARS....Needing to feel wanted and loved
Just one day, one night...that is all I ask for before I part
For now, my pillow shall hold my tears of pain, hopes and dreams

*To the One I Love Eternally
"Even though my sister, Rosemarie, and brother,Richard, are no longer here on earth with us, they may be found in our hearts and thoughts. I love and miss them very much.
Peace
What is death?
Is it painful or frightening?
No...
It is peace, serenity and tranquility.
All of the troubles of the world will be lifted from your frail and tired shoulders.
This is all replaced with an overwhelming calmness.
It is so astonishing that it makes you wonder why it never existed in the living world.
This world is filled with all of the wonderful pleasures thaT are taken for granted or forgotten.
There is no hate lingering about or any hurt waiting to be lunged towards another.
Death should not be viewed as a long-term emptiness.
You will always be there in their hearts and memories.
People should be happy and relieved for a loved one who has passed into the other world.
They have no pain or worries, though the living will always be missed.
Rest assured that they will be watching over you until you arrive to their newly found happiness.
So, never fear death for it is a true friend waiting with open arms.
Arms that will hold and rock you to safety and serenity.

Sleep, sleep well my dear,
Dream sweet dreams with no fear.
Feel the gentle breeze wisp through the window,
Know you are protected by angels on your pillow.
They will keep all your thoughts and dreams safe,
Only allowing the bad ones to escape.
There you lie like a soft silhouette,
A smile and caring hands perfectly set.
Such a beautiful sight to view,
Peace and content carefully placed upon you.
Oh darling, do rest with ease in your comfy bed,
With all your dreams safely dancing in your head.
In the soft shadows of the night,
Everything is engulfed in a tender gray light.
Angels on your pillow to stay,
Waiting for you to awake to a bright new day.

"A True Friend With a Broken Heart To Mend"
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN There was a time in my life I needed you so much,
I lived for your smile and dreamed of your touch.
Although my heart would melt at the sound of your voice,
When I looked into your eyes my soul would rejoice.
Your smile made me happy, your tears made me blue,
You said you cared about me and I thought it was true.
But time came between us and that bent my smile,
I ired to smile but the pain stayed awhile.
It took lots of time but my heart started to mend,
I want you no longer not even as a friend.

HOLDING ONTO A FRIEND Thanks for the poem, I feel your pain,
For I am the same.
Lost in a cloud of dust,
Still I sit here and rust.
Waitng for a friend,
To help a broken heart mend.
I'm so near to them, yet so far away,
Waiting the for clouds to go away and become a brighter day.
I don't want any sympathy,
For all I need is a freind for me.
When I strive to do my best,
I alwys seem to do something to lay it to rest.
Whether it be my action,
Which at times is quite childish, at the theater, it would be the coming attraction.
I have a friend which is so dear,
I hope we can be for many of a year.
Written for my dear friend, Chris

SOFT SHADE OF BLUE
A wonderful love was finally found,
A wonderful love was lost without a sound.
As fast as the speed of light it came,
In a blink of an eye it was never the same.
Promises of great happiness and days to come were made,
Hearts were broken and tears fell in a somber serenade.
Separation was inevitable and fresh lives were started,
Months passed by with nothing but emptiness since they departed.
Ignoring true feelings and falsely putting on an air,
Trudging on day after day as if not having a single care.
True friendship is valued and all pain is placed in denial,
Walls are built so high hoping for protection from feelings for a while.
Succumbed by loneliness and seclusion,
Life then becomes nothing more than a delusion.
Longing and searching for others to love thee,
Finding nothing but locked hearts that contain no key.
In a cautious endeavor to deeply hide a love so true,
Two hearts are safely tucked away and gently covered in a Soft Shade of Blue.
**We all are guilty of hiding and not facing the truth, for we fear for our hearts being broken. Who or what are we hiding from? Is it ourselves or the one's that we truly love? Only you hold the answer within. Do not waste your life away and do find your love to stay.

BODY LANGUAGE
Did you know
In the early morning when you smile,
one corner of your mouth curves up a little higher than the other...
It makes me want to kiss you
And did you know
That when you laugh, your eyes sparkle with flecks of gold...
and when you are serious and reach for me with desire in them, your eyes are so intense that I can't think straight...
All the words I want to say get lost there...in your eyes
Did you know
That your touch speaks to my heart..
Softly and gently, stroking, exploring...
Whispers of tender love, fresh and new and complete...
Strong embraces telling me of a fierce determination to always be there...
Playful tugging becomes almost urgent, in the need to make a connection...
Hearts pounding, breathless sounds,the soft relaxation of fullfillment...
Your body speaks so eloquently snd I am its captive audience....
(This poem was written by a Great Friend, APoet Hand)�
IF YOU TRULY LOVE SOMEONE FOR LIFE
You would accept their good, their bad and their indifference�s...
You would die for them, lie for them and give it all to them...
You would wipe their tears, hold their hand and hug them real tight...
You would love them gently, passionately and wildly...
You would give words of praise, encourage them and pick them up when they have fallen...
You would never let anger control your destinies, never allow the misery of others come between you and never forget that love is not having to say that you are sorry...
You would share with them the sun, the moon and the stars...
You would be there in their hour of need, give comfort and never leave their side...
You would proudly walk beside them, not in front or behind them...
You would worship the ground that they walk on, the air that they breathe and the bed that they lay their sweet bodies in...
You would welcome each new day together and pray for many more to come...
If you truly love someone for life, you would do all this,
Never let a moment go by that you shall loose or miss.
Engulf each other with all the love and warmth that your hearts can succumb,
Remember that yesterday has already passed, today is now here and tomorrow may never come. TEE

Little Square Box
I found myself, alone, in front of this little square box...searching,
For what, I did not know but the unexpected was great and startling.
I diligently typed an ad and posted it in hopes of sharing joy and warmth that my heart did carry,
I was amazed by the many letters I received from those who responded to my few lines of sincerity.
I acknowledged each letter carefully, for I did not know if they were true or fake,
Though I was a little hesitant, I decided to put my heart and soul at stake.
After several days, it was easy to pick the worthy one's out,
They were definitely people that I would like to get to know without even a doubt.
Through this little square box, I have found dear friends who would stand by me til the end,
To them, heartfelt thanks,soft kisses and warms hugs I do send.
Do know that all that you have given me shall be generously given back in return,
Love and friendship are treasured gifts that you can only earn.
For all those wonderful friends who have captured my heart,
Do know that I do love you for accepting me for who I am and know that our friendship shall never part.
**Like many others, I entered the world of modern technology with a little hesitance and fear. I discovered that if you are true to yourself, then you can be true to others and this they shall see. Many true friends have been found here and I feel that I have been blessed. I never thought there were so many
who shared my thoughts and feelings. I have learned that there are many who have broken hearts and I hope that I have brought them some hope and comfort. Love to all of you!!!! Thank you for everything.
