Stone By Hope Ohlarik 07/13/2013
Such a beautiful day it is outside;
Yet I just want to run away and hide.
For once things are good, for the most part;
Yet, I want to curl into a ball, and forget my heart.
As I just want to cry, and forget the whole world;
Lost in some dark corner, I'm forgotten and curled.
Sometimes the "best" friend is the worst enemy;
It doesn't matter how much we don't want to see.
My best friend in the whole wide world, don't care anymore;
And forgetting the person she is now, is the hardest chore.
But its for the best, and this I do see to be true;
As there was nothing left to fix the friendship, nothing I could do.
Sometimes the people we know the longest;
Slowly become the friendships, that are the wrongest.
People change, friendships bend and sometimes die;
Then all that's left to do, is curl up and simply cry.
Nothing you can do to save the friendship now;
And, like mine, there was simply no way how.
I tried so hard to help you through this all;
But from expectation, I see I did fall.
I'm sorry that I failed to help like I should;
I truly thought I'd done almost all I could.
Now I see I should have done so much more;
Yet now you don't want my help, I see for sure.
I'm sorry I failed you, that I didn't do my best;
I failed, just like my high school Algebra two test.
I hope that you're alright in the end of all this;
You're life does get better, and turns to bliss.
I'll leave you be now, I'll let you alone;
As it seems now, our friendship is stone....
Yet I just want to run away and hide.
For once things are good, for the most part;
Yet, I want to curl into a ball, and forget my heart.
As I just want to cry, and forget the whole world;
Lost in some dark corner, I'm forgotten and curled.

There Was a Man Named Sarge by Hope Ohlarik
(In Memory of Jeffery Regan) (C) 02/17/2013
There once was a man named Sarge;
Like all managers he was in charge.
But unlike them all, and the rest;
He gave his all, and he did his best.
He was a friend to all that worked there;
And unlike the rest, he did really care.
He was a very dear friend to me;
These tears running, I don't care who does see.
My heart is breaking for this loss of a friend;
As memories of good times, my heart does in pain
descend.
We lost a good man that fate filled day;
When he was suddenly taken quickly away.
Just getting over a scare of cancer;
Then being told he was in the clear for sure.
Out of no where a heart attack took him;
As the light in his eyes drew so dim.
Upon hearing the news, my heart did break;
As ragged breaths I did mournfully take.
I lost a friend who meant a lot to me;
I friend I thought would always be.
A man named Sarge, who did like to joke;
Was a wonderful, and magnificent bloke.
His heart was pure and so very kind;
As looking to his picture I do remind.
I will never forget the man that I knew;
And I pray none ever do.
R.I.P Sarge Jeffory Regan You will be missed by many. You
were a very dear friend to us all, and we will all miss you more than you'll
ever know.

All But Gone By Hope Ohlarik 12/10/12
Hope's given away more than any know;
More than any see, more than Hope let's show.
Wisdom kept for many a year;
Such wise words that many did hear.
Hope's all but gone now, it does seem;
As nothing but heartache does now gleam.
A heart withering away in a lonely state;
Disappearing away at an alarming rate.
Hope's time to leave is soon to come;
And when it's here, Hope's time is done.
Nothing more can she do for this world;
As in a bed she is slowly curled.
Her mind fighting her more than she will say;
More than she'll let show, that is anyway.
A lost mind that is never to again be found;
As fear is everywhere, at every single sound.
Hope is all but spent in the world now;
And she won't change anything anyhow.
Her words have fallen upon deaf ears;
Nothing that matters, no one ever hears.
All wisdom she's kept within her mind this days;
Will pass with her, as quiet within her bed she lays.
When Hope dies, she knows it will be done;
As far from life's troubles she will gladly run.
No one will miss her, that she does pray;
Because she wants no reason to stay.
No tears she wants wept for her that hour;
As people sit by her bed, and at Death they cower.
Hope is done....
More than any see, more than Hope let's show.

Until the Color Fades Away by Hope Ohlarik (C) 10/26/12
Until the color fades away, my heart will never go astray.
When my eyes cease to see; and when my heart fails to beat within me.
Only then will I stop loving you; there’s no more that I can do.
You’re the strength beneath my wings; you’re the reason my heart sings.
With all your gifts you give my life; I’m so privileged to be your loving wife.
So…
Until the color fades away; they’re nothing that will make me go away.
If in life you mistake and stray; I promise I’ll love you anyway.
We’ll work through it and go true; because, my Dear, I do love you.
My heart is forever yours; even as my life, out pours.
We will make it to the end of our days; as the sun, for us, casts its final rays.
So…
Until the color fades away, my love for you will always stay.
When my eyes cease to see; and when my heart fails to beat within me.
Only then will I stop loving you; there’s no more that I can do.
You’re the strength beneath my wings; you’re the reason my heart sings.
With all your gifts you give my life; I’m so privileged to be your loving wife.
So…

If in life you mistake and stray; I promise I’ll love you anyway.
We’ll work through it and go true; because, my Dear, I do love you.
My heart is forever yours; even as my life, out pours.
We will make it to the end of our days; as the sun, for us, casts its final rays.
So…
Until the color fades away, my love for you will always stay.
It'll Be Okay by Hope Ohlarik (C) 9/27/2012
Sitting here I feel so helpless,
Knowing you're too far away for this.
There's so little I can do from here;
Knowing too well there's much to fear.
But when I see you, I'll hold you tight;
As we pray for everything to be alright.
Momma, I promise we'll make it through;
Just the same, as we always do.
The darkness is always so pitch black;
Before it gives the sun the sky back.
Dad will be alright eventually, I promise you;
We'll make it one way or another, like we always do.
Momma I love you and Dad both so much;
Even if your hand is too far away for mine to touch.
Sitting as these tears roll down my saddened face;
Feeling like there's nothing to do in this place.
I remind myself I'll see you all so very soon,
But I can't help but remember you'll leave with the moon.
I don't wanna let you go, not another time;
And thus I write out this heartache rhyme....

How Do I Let Go? by Hope Ohlarik 9/26/12 (C)2012
I had to let go of you today, even though I wanted you to stay.
God said the time had come, and your time here was done.
And now matter how we cried; now matter how much we wish they'd lied.
The truth stared us right in the face; and you're gone now, finished you're race.
We'll hold on to the memories of you, holding so close the photos too.
Hoping and wishing that it was different; but the facts are facts, you were heaven sent.
You were the one I ran to when I was scared; and for this I was so ill-prepared.
How do I say utter goodbye, when I cannot help but sit here and cry?
How can I tell you goodbye, when I sit here wishing it a horrid lie?
I don't know how to say those words; so this pain I may just purge.
Goodbye Daddy....

I Miss the Country Boy by Hope Ohlarik 9/19/12 (C) 2012
{In Memory of Nathan E. Barnhart}
I whisper the words into the wind, and pray to Heaven they do ascend.
I'd write you a letter and mail it to you; but how to send it I haven't a clue.
It'd an impossible letter, I can never send; cause there's no address around the bend.
The stars have no address, no trace; and so these tears race down my face.
I miss you my friend, more than anything; as to this mournful song I do sing.
I wish you were back, so your Momma wouldn't cry; I wish so bad you never did die.
We're all hurting so bad, even to this day; cause of your stupid choice you did go away.
You were true country down to the bone; but that stupid choice left you cold as stone.
And even now months later its still there; the pain so real for all of us that do care.
I'm talking to your Momma right now; we're both still so lost, stuck wondering how.
Maybe some one will learn from this mistake; so their life alcohol will not also take.
Nater, I can't wait to see you up there; cause I'm gunna kick your ass all around there.
Then I'll give you the biggest hug in the world; remembering how in pain we curled.
