Poems by Helen Grandison

Life is not just waking up one morning and saying, "Ok, I want this to happen."
It's about getting out there and going for it...

Life is full of surprises,
here, there and everywhere,
You never know where you will end up
or who you will end up with.
You just have to trust your faith and keep God close.

Never say never, 'cause you know you can do it,
Never say later; do it right now.
Never let people bring you down.
They will do anything to watch you fall,
so keep your head up and your heart strong,
and then, my dear, you can never go wrong.

I believed when you said that you loved me,
I believed when you said you would never leave me,
I believed when you said you had to study,
I even believed you again when you said you and me forever.
Now I know you are nothing but a liar and a cheater; you are a betrayer.
I let you in my world and you destroyed it,
I gave you my heart and you broke it.
What else would you have done to me if you had gotten the chance?
You know what I can't believe most of all,
The mere fact that I even believed you. . . .
