My fallen Angel

By Alexandria J. Eliason

He is one of those Angels

That has fallen from grace

There is pain and misery written all over his face

I can see right through him

Behind the smile full of lies

I can see his pain

And I know at night he cries

I just want to save him

I've been blind always seeing the best in him

Always fighting for him

The only one to remove my blindfold was him

I saw him for who he was today

Disappointment sketched across my face

Oh the places he could of gone

The people he could of saved

And I see the only way to escape

I turn and bow my head, try not to let him see me cry

So I turn, and I run, as fast as I can, I run

I can't look back, look at what he has become

He is just one of those Angels

That has completely fallen from grace

I'm waiting, waiting for him to return to his rightful place

I can see right through him, know he hurts, I know he cries

And I know every single one of his lies

I love you is all he would say

I love you, but there is just no other way

I love the dirt!!!

What a beautiful Fast Sunday we had today. I taught my Sunday School class for the first time, I was extremely nervous, but everything went smoothly. Of course while at church the dogs attempted to escape 2 times!! Jordan was sent home for dog sitting.

Duke is quite the little tyrant always breaking the fence and trying to escape. Kyo of course just follows Duke wherever he goes. Countless times we have repaired the fence, we got Duke a dog line and we hook that up to him when we leave, but he still gets out. So we got a choke chain and we hooked the dog line up to the choke chain, but somehow he managed to unhook his choke chain from the dog line crazy right?! We've tried kenneling him when we leave but he ripped a whole in his kennel. Duke has broken several window screens, and destroyed many bedrooms trying to get out when he is home alone. Today Jordan re-built the fence, and added some new stuff to it to make sure the Dogs can't get out. He even built a homemade gate out of old wood flooring for my Mom's garden. He is such a great guy. Sure he can be a little messy and I can to, but when he puts his mind to it he can build and fix the coolest things!! I love my husband!!

While Jordan was repairing the fence my Mom and I dug for potato's. I guess you could call it a rednecks garden because we planted the potato's in old tire wheels. I think it looks cool. Any who my Mom and I got to play in the dirt, digging up bugs, potato's, and some occasional pine cones. It was lots of fun, and a great way to spend a Sunday with family out in the sunshine!

Summers Dance

by Alexandria J. Eliason

What a sweet smell lingers in the air

As the soft patter of rain grazes across the hot summer pavement

Dark clouds roll in, the summer blues float out

A flash of light dances across the sky

Thunder claps at her beautiful grace

The Sun dips low behind the curtain

Giving her a chance to shine

It's been the sun all summer

The beautiful Lightening stretches her legs

Warming up for her ballet

Spectators come from all around

Kicking their shoes off to run through the puddles

Laughing out loud they all collapse to the ground

Breathe a sigh of relief

The wind flows around

One last pirouette, the dance ends

The Sun returns

The spectators shuffle back to their lives

Memories of the dance linger in their minds

They wait in anticipation for the next time

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

This is a shout out to my awesome Dad. It's his birthday today!! I won't tell you how old he is haha!! Not only has my dad been my dad but for many years he was my basketball coach, softball coach, and partner in crime in annoying my mom. I'll never forget one trip to Myrtle Creek, when I saw a baby deer I said "you know what baby deers say?" He said "What?" and then I said "Ma Ma" as if I was a deer, guess you had to be there but it was hilarious!! The rest of the way we kept saying "Ma Ma" in deer voices, my poor mom was so annoyed!! My dad is great, because not only does he rock out to metalica you can also find him singing along to Ke$ha and owl city. My dad is great because he scares the crap out of everyone and you can never tell if he is joking or being serious. My dad is great because he always has the coolest stories to tell. Here are some fun pictures of my dad! This ones for you Dad!
