Just a little about me

hello, my name is monica sign name Gem. I am a 32 yr old single mother of an incredibale 12 yr old boy whoes total existance revolves around baseball. That being said, expect to see many post about ballgames and pics of him. I have been single now for about a year and a half. It has been a very good experence for me and a stepping stone that has been critical in the development and discovery of who I am. I have encountered some really wonderful people in my many days of being around the internet. A few friends have stuck with me through some very difficult times that Im not sure I could have made it through with out there love and support. Im not real sure why im here, my dear friend Brad thinks that I would like blogging and that I have a lot to say...lol...not real sure if I should take that as a compliment or not. He is my pain in the ass just across the Red that tends to strike a nerve from time to time, but hey what are friends for right, luvs ya :P. I have a little interest in poetry and attempt to do some writting every now and then when something inspires me, so expect to see a few things I write from time to time. Im not real sure how to really even go about this, so guess Ill pretty much wing it and see what happens. Im far from being an exciting person, but have some interesting points of view periodically. Please dont take offence by anything I post. I have a very wide range of interest and a very open mind and not everyone knows how to take or understand it always. I never intend on offending anyone (believe it or not brad :P) so please be as open minded when you read my postings as I am when I write them. Maybe some where a long the way I will pick up a couple of new friends and if Im real lucky, might have a few folks stop for a brief moment after reading something Ive written and think hhhhmmm, thats an interesting perspective. I think I will end this session with a little poem I wrote here while back. Everything that comes from me, comes from my heart and the deepest of feelings I have for life. I hope you enjoy and maybe will come back again for a little read......

Cold
by Gem

a heart so pure
a love so bold
how can life be so cold
out of the darkness shines a glimer of hope
reaching for the one willing to cope
from the darkness he takes her hand
holding her close for he understands
he has been here before, a lost soul looking for the way
knowing what canters through her mind each and every day
he is as scared as she
but his demons will not set him free
for love had come and left
leaving nothing but a victim of theft
today is like all the rest
as a tear falls to her breast
she wishes to replace the fear
with songs of glorious cheer
as he crawls off in a slumber
she is left to only wonder
will he ever feel her love
and send her sailing on the wings of a dove.
