It all began on that October day
The waters stilled,
The leaves refused to sway,
Clocks stopped upon the wall,
A beating heart forever quiet,
A tired body put to rest,
Hearts broken - left behind.
An onward journey I must take,
For I stilled lived and I still breathed.
The fight is on, the climb is high,
I shall reach the summit by-and by . . .
Journey with me through the days of still waters, experience the joy as I travel to Alaska and view the
lofty mountain top of Mt. McKinley and onward as I encounter thrills and heartaches before finding love
once more in the land of sagebrush and sand in Southeastern of Colorado.

Chapter One
In the Beginning ...I began writing poetry shortly after my husband died in 1996. I called these writings Heart Thoughts. Very few of my first poems were happy ones. I was struggling to overcome the grief and loneliness that filled my every waking moment and every fiber of my inner being. My daily prayer was, "Lord, take away this sadness."
I wrote these few lines during the time of my deepest grief, when I didn't have words to describe my feelings. I am speaking of time in a way I couldn't understand. Seemingly time stood still, moments, hours, days and thoughts jumbled together, none of it made sense.
Still Waters
It flows but doesn't move,
Moves but doesn't flow,
Suspended in time forever more ...
Never stagnant,
Always fresh and renewed
Never silent
Flowing gently into time ...
As the months went by, I could see a change in the way I wrote. A feeling of peace and healing was taking place. I realized, I had been drifting along as if I were in still waters going nowhere. I knew my future happiness was up to me. This moment in time is all we have; everything else is in the past. I chose to rebuild a life of happiness and to try to live it to the fullest.
The following pages are an inspirational journey of my life through the next several years.
It all began on that October dayThe waters stilled,
The leaves refused to sway,
Clocks stopped upon the wall,
A beating heart forever quiet,
A tired body put to rest,
Hearts broken – left behind.
An onward journey I must take,
For I still live and I still breathe.
The fight is on, the climb is high,
I shall reach the summit by and by ...
Journey with me through the days of still waters,
experience the joy as I travel to Alaska and view the
lofty mountain top of Mt. McKinley and onward as I
encounter thrills and heartaches before finding love
once more in the land of sagebrush and
sand in Southeastern Colorado.
Dreams
Where do dreams live –
They live within the now,
Not in the past that's already gone,
Not in the future that may never be,
Dreams are the now, not in the making.
October 1996
Future
What the future holds I will accept,
Not always gladly but with the Master's help.
There are peaks and valleys, I must climb.
I will do so, one step at a time.
Tears
Tonight I cried for all the things that will never be.
I am going to pack away my tears;
It seems time to me.
I am packing away my tears in a box,
I am putting on a lid, one that locks.
If I lock away the tears in a box,
No one can touch them; there they will remain.
If I ever need them, they are safe and secure.
But for now I am locking them away in a box,
And putting on a lid, one that locks.
Nov. /Dec. 1996
More Tears
I put all my unshed tears inside a box,
Closed the lid and locked it tight.
I planned to keep them all out of sight.
It worked for a little while,
And then –
The songs and the festivities of the season,
Opened them up once more.
Who unlocked the box ...
Did the Lord see the need for more tears
... Or is he grieving with me?
December 18, 1996
A Lonely Christmas Tree
A lonely Christmas tree set on a stand
With only two small presents under it.
We had dreamed of Christmas this year,
In our new home.
We planned on a fire in the fireplace, a
Mantle with stockings, children laughing
And much celebrating.
December, 1996
Memories
I took a walk down memory lane.
I went to places I should not have gone
For memory lane has too many places,
Too many turns.
Good Morning Sunshine
Good morning Sunshine!
I can hear you now,
While grumpy me, grunts out a sound.
He's up and at-um, all ready to go,
I'm drinking coffee and moving rather slow.
Two different dispositions ... one heart one mind.
Heart Thoughts
I am thankful for
God in heaven.
The fact that God cares for me,
Even though I feel so alone
I am never alone.
I am thankful for
The sun rising over the lake,
How beautiful
The wind rustling through the trees
Fallen leaves
The house we built together, the comfort
Of home,
Good neighbors, good friends, memories of you
Knowing someday soon
I can think of you and not feel so sad.
January 1997
The tears fall ...
It hurts to cry.
It hurts to be so unhappy
The Lord says,
Be not afraid I am with you.
I am not afraid,
Just sad
Please stop the tears,
Stop the sadness
And please,
Stop the loneliness.
Shattered Dreams
Where do dreams live ...
They live within the now
Not in the past that has already gone,
Nor In the future that may never be
Dreams are the now ...
Not in the making.
Where do dreams live ...
They live within the moment
Not in the yesterdays that are behind us,
Not in the tomorrows that may never exist
Dreams are the now.
Where do dreams go when they die,
When there are no tomorrows only yesterdays,
Do you curl up within yourself,
Do you cease to exist ...
Where are the tomorrows?
The Bible says, live just today.
I don't like today.
The memories are too sad,
The tomorrows, too, distant.
When will I remember the yesterdays and be happy
When - When ...
Milestones and Bridges
Milestones and bridges,
Too many to cross,
How many are there to remind me of your loss.
So many reminders when I tried to forget.
On the six-month anniversary, I took a test
Your birthday a reminder – no will to contest
Just a note from the courts – deceased intestate.
Each milestone a bridge I've crossed,
However, to have you with me, I would count all
This as loss.
April 15, 1997
Heart Thoughts
If tears are healing, why aren't I healed?
After a while I was tired of crying and fought
to control my tears with every fiber of my body.
Usually the tears controlled me instead as
my emotions seemed beyond my grasp.
One way I fought them was to sing. My
favorite was Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail.
It is hard to sing and cry.
Letting Go
Letting go, letting go,
There are so many things that I must let go,
All the yesterdays, all the dreams,
All my favorite things,
Letting go, letting go,
It's so hard to keep letting go.
The seasons change, all nature renews,
Letting go of the past, letting go of you.
Our season ended, my winter has begun.
Letting go, letting go,
The dark days of misery have taken spring's place,
Our sunrises and sunsets have all slipped away,
The gray days of winter have replaced them in-
stead.
Letting go ... letting go ..
The cold days of winter quickly will pass,
Another reminder not all things will last.
Letting go, letting go, my heart says no,
Don't rush the seasons, don't rush the heart,
Letting go of the past, letting go, letting go.
It's springtime at last,
Nature has awakened the things of the earth,
The trees are budding; green plants burst forth,
Letting go of the winter, nurturing my soul.
I must be as wild flowers, fragrant and free,
Bursting forth after the winter with beauty and
Grace.
Letting go ... letting go ...
May 21, 1997
Thinking of all the things I`ve already let go,
knowing soon I will have to let go of my house.
I am not ready for the final letting go ... not yet.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face to cover the tears in
my eyes.
A clean closet floor with my shoes all lined in a row.
Simple things, simple ways to say I love you.
A Heartfelt thanks to my daughter.
Springtime of Life
This is the springtime of my life,
Time for fresh new beginnings, fresh starts,
A time for letting go.
The winter past is slowly ending.
Springtime of now is settling in.
I choose the winter, for I was content,
Nature was telling me, my new life must begin.
My heart must be as springtime,
Its beauty to unfold anew.
Nature is telling me it's time to let go.
Time for fresh new memories,
New mornings, new sunsets, new dreams.
The winter has passed,
That season is over.
Welcome spring.
1997
Spring reminded me so assuredly that seasons and things change and
we must slowly unfold into the beauty of the new season and welcome
the challenges ahead.
Silence
Silence beckoning through the house,
Echoing off the walls,
Silence greeting me at the door.
I hear silence speaking
Telling me you're here no more.
May 1997
Time Heals and Minds Change
This started out to be a book of grief as you
Can see, but through the days and through the
Weeks it's turned into a book of recovery.
There's a beckoning call that I must heed
Someone on earth may have need of me.
I will take the upward climb to victory
Although it's a lonely road for me right now.
May 7, 1997
A Time to be Free
When it was time to set me free-
He gently placed me on the ground
And stayed nearby until my footing,
I found.
My trust restored, my faith renewed,
The wounds are healed.
The scars are deep.
May 16, 1997
JUST FOR TODAY
Good morning God, it's a beautiful day,
The sun is rising across the bay,
The birds are singing, saying welcome to the morn.
The lake is peaceful,
Shimmering with sunbeams of light.
My heart is filled with thoughts ...
Not quite so confused and jumbled as before.
It, too, is stilled, waiting in the morning quiet
For God to carry out its plight.
His master plan I do not know, but God is the keeper of
My soul.
So I wait in peace, until the time is right,
Then He will set in motion His guiding light.
Please come with me on this journey,
The path's not rocky just a little stormy.
God is building a bridge across the way to secure my
Route if only I pray.
Lord, I thank you for this day,
Help me to make it better than yesterday.
Just for today.
1997
Early one morning, watching the sun rise across the lake
Memorial Day
A day to remember
As if I could ever forget.
Memories stamped upon my heart
Memories too many to forget.
Memories too painful to let surface,
Just yet.
Memories ... so many
Yet ... not enough.
The grand times, the sad times,
Too painful to remember ...
Too hard to forget.
In remembrance,
May, 1997
The Day Before Moving
Thank you God for all the days and all the nights,
The sunrises and sunsets,
The rain, dew, green grass of spring,
The crackling brown leaves in the fall.
Thank you, God, for everything we experienced together.
I will miss the sun rising over the lake,
Squirrels rushing around, playing in the trees,
Turtles eating watermelon rind,
The snake slithering up the tree going from branch to branch,
The wide-open sky at night with twinkling stars ever so bright,
The full moon cascading over the lake,
Making golden waves in the gentle breeze.
Thank you for allowing us to dream this dream,
For allowing Jim to complete his dream of standing in this house,
The house he had built with his own two hands,
For the years together,
For this past year and the time spent in close companionship,
For our dates, the arguments, the many trips to Home Depot,
Friday's together, the trips to the Laundromats -
This made me so thankful for a washer and dryer,
The hot, cold, wind, rain and most of all
The satisfaction of knowing what we had gained.
We knew when we began this chore the years would be few
Just how few we did not know.
Thank you God for withholding the future so we could enjoy to-
day.
Be with me Lord, as I say goodbye,
Remind me Lord that you are by my side.
Let me leave here now with joy and pride,
And look to the future with eyes open wide.
Seal my aching heart Lord,
Calm my fears,
Replace the tears with joy,
The joy of new mornings, new sunsets,
New homes, new friends.
Give me peace and joy,
Let me rejoice in the security known only in the Lord,
Going forward without fear or panic,
Quietly doing my daily duties.
October 17, 1997
Moving Day
I closed the doors and left the keys.
I brought only the memories along with me.
The squirrels, the birds, the turtles all remain
For without you, nothing will ever be the same.
I left all behind when I closed the gate
Knowing God has in mind a much better fate.
I seek each day, my life to rebuild.
God give me the wisdom to see the things you
Have in store for me.
October 1997
Dear Lord
Thank you Lord for giving me
A time to grieve,
A time to heal,
A time to see what's really real,
Help me now to go on my way
Growing stronger every day.
Let me leave the past where it belongs,
And find a future that's mine alone.
Somewhere out there, there's joy to be,
Sunshine and flowers, just waiting for me,
Friends and loved ones and my Master's hand,
Leading me on to the Promised Land.
Whatever the future holds, I will accept, not always
Gladly, but with the master's help.
There are peaks and valleys that I must climb,
And I will do so, one day at a time.
April 15, 1998
Patience
Patience come and sit with me,
Lend me your strength, lend me your time.
I'm in too big a hurry.
I don't want to wait.
Please, Patience, come to me before it's too late.
I have no tomorrows; I've just today.
So please, Patience
Show me how to enjoy each moment of each precious
Day.
October 12, 1998
Searching
Where do I fit in dear Lord, oh where do I fit in,
I have so few single friends, where do I begin,
I'm not so old that I must stay inside
Day after day oh where do I go from here?
I don't want to spend my life cloistered away in widow's habits.
What, oh what, do I do for fun?
My married friends all say come along with me,
But even they know with them I don't belong.
Stay busy some say, keep your mind occupied;
But even busy minds must rest after a while.
So where, oh where, do I go for friends?
Go to church you tell me, that's where Christians
All go to pray. But you see, I've been there already, today.
Please try to understand, I don't want your sympathy
I only want a place to fit in.
The children are all grown and settled down.
I have no regrets; I just want my niche in life to be found.
Where, oh where, do I fit in?
September 1998

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within one month without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is one month with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
In order to exercise your revocation right, you must inform us (Moluna GmbH, Engberdingdamm 27, 48268 Greven, Telephone number: 02571/5 69 89 33, Fax number: 02571/5 69 89 30, E-Mail address: abe@moluna.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent via post, fax or email). You can use the enclosed specimen revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.
The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.

Standard Business Terms and customer information / data protection declaration
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (Moluna GmbH) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
