Hello friend & welcome to my Authors page, I'm Getsbetter (GETS). I've been here for

 almost 3 yrs now and have met some amazing poets. I originally came here after losing

 my son (Adam) hoping it would help me cope better. I've put together here some pages

 of my works. Please enjoy them as I lay them before you & maybe it will spark some

 imagination for you to take a trip down your own memory lane. Adam passed away

 in the early spring morning of April 27 2005 & will be truely forever missed.

 You no longer need to ask approval to anyone but your own

 now you've entered heavens doors a man, but your not alone

 Decisions will be made, by your heart and our Lord above

 to give peace through eternity, with Gods never ending love

.

 I will always be in your heart, with every path that you take

 while still walking beside you and every step that you make

 I was your dad on earth, you were my son and a best friend

 this is the prayer I give to you and with undying love I send

 .

 I still visit memories of you in thought, walks, and in prayer

 sometimes I turn around suddenly, hoping to find you there

 I will always miss you son, in my life you played a big part

 and the day you went away, with you.... also went my heart

 .

 So carry it carefully friend, and keep it safe while I'm away

 for I will see you soon, and share it with you again one day

 Take care my son, my compadre, ...my hugs & kisses to you

we will be together again when my purpose here is through..

It seems the tracks have ended, but really just begun

for they lead you to a land, that sets beyond the sun

The tracks travel passed the island of amazing grace

only to leave your pain in the heart of a higher place

.

"Faith" is its ticket! You just believe & climb aboard

when the ride is over, eternity will be the just reward

Let the amber light of the sun with it's glitter of gray

open up your imagination to gentley take you away!

.

The waters won't be wet and doubt don't reside here

as the tide begins to part making faith perfectly clear

The train tracks "Carry souls" to many foriegn lands

leaving unforgettable memories on its peaceful sands

.

You will return again with a different point of view

when asking questions anwsers will be there for you

So trust in our Lord take a ride across the setting sun

 you'll feel a change in life, ...the rides only just begun  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out on this two lane blacktop alone late one night

and I knew it might go, but could she take flight?

Stepped on the gas just to see how fast it might go

ahead a blind curve, HUH ...what little did I know!

.

So I held the wheel tight, she was holding the bend

I thought I'd make it till a tire blew on the rearend

Across the oncoming lane and through the guardrail

with a glazed look on my face, "I bid all a farewell"

.

The next thing that I knew, I awoke without a sound

this quick "lil ford" went into a river and sat down

 It was completely totaled from its front to the rear

 I would have put it out of misery if I had a gun near

.

She still sits there today out deep in that ravine

 with the paint peeled off and parts stripped clean!  

Once in a while I stop bye and visit that old wreck

while looking back on that day to keep me in check!

Here is a kiss for sunshine to take away the rain

you can open your eyes now, you won't feel any pain

This one's for the rose, and this one's for your heart

I knew that I would kiss you, I knew it from the start!

You're beautiful as the rose I picked just for you today

can I have a kiss once more, it takes my breath away

Do you like my hat that my daddy said I could wear?

my mommy says when I wear it "I look so debonair"

Hurry and kiss me, my hands are begining to sweat

I have been practicing all day and I'm afraid I will forget

Let's get this over because I don't even want to peek

and if I get the nerve I'll kiss you, and not just on the cheek

it's my first kiss and they say; the first one you won't forget

when I look back on this day, such a memory without regret

So go ahead and ~kiss me~ to make this all worth while

did I also say you smell pretty and I love that gentle smile!

I think your in checkmate

and there's no where to go

what about this square?

well,

       "What do-ya know"

.

A safe spot on the board 

at the very edge of it all

don't know about you friend

                              ...but,

 ~I'm having a ball~

.

I'm new at this game

and I tried so hard to impress

you my best friend

.with this game called chess.

You said you could beat me

in six moves and that was eight

you'd better look around again,

  it's you who's in checkmate!!!

The tempest releases its fire across oceans just before night

leaving a symphony of amazing colors, directly within my sight

Seated like a theater, I watch a remarkable canvas get brushed

resembling a "Masterpiece" while everything around is hushed

.

As a generation of power lies peacefully amongst these skies

blending its entire roar in chime with paint, right before my eyes

Sitting here in meditation and dependant thoughts that oscillate

to rotating colors of rhythm, opening the skies to heavens gate

.

Paint me a picture 'Oh precious one, with bells that pay the toll

and recharge my imagination, to glorious visions I can't control

I sit here in the evenings, enjoying this wonder of distant light

while this tempest releases the fire along its demanding flight

Stepping through the stone of heaven and earth

seeing a reflection of  'Once what was mine

Only the fading sun seems to cloud my memories

of these past judgements that I've hastily made

 

They will forever remain within this heart

never to allow a second chance to change my path

Tears fall upon "An Angels shoes" with pain

leaving only the scars of ~Yesterdays Promises~

 

My heart is filled with overflowing sunshine

from this loving spirit that guides my soul

The skies dim hue of greys still settle in my heart

while the Wind Whispers for a gentler day

 

Trees let go of lifeless leaves and softly drift away

as the season takes on a brand new transformation

I shall watch over you within the windows of time

to a spring morning that fell on Yesterdays Promises

FOREVER~Upon a time                            

                                 ART by;T.C. Chiu

 

Dragons,Castles and yes, Unicorns

the ~Wizard  puts words so well

upon this young innocent maiden

this paints a story to a "Fairytale"

 

 

A Prince rides this way many times

just stay there, you too ...Shall see!

For he is already in wait close bye

from a trunk of the "Old Oak tree"

 

 

'Oh yes my dear beauty, prick a rose

forever you will reside in a fairytale

to it's wonders beyond your dreams

and the love I'll cast upon this spell
