Some of my friends I've known all my life. And most friends are like family. I have lived with some friends and their families at bad times of my life, I've had friends that lived with my family at bad times of their life. All but the memories are as fresh in my mind as a cool December morning as you open the door and the fresh cool air fills your lungs. My hometown is Peoria, Illinois. My oldest friends live there, never again shall I walk the streets, fish in the river, hold hands with the girl down the street, play football at the Morton Square Park, or run the tough streets with my buddies. Never will I race cars on Main Street or sit in Steak'n Shake, showing off my car and girl . I relish these memories, they are no bitter sweet memories, just memories that go off like fireworks in my mind, flashes of light sounds and smells of days gone by.

[ definition of always ] on every occasion ,--continuously ,--at anytime ,--in any event . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------WRITTEN 2-8-2011 ------------------ I"ve been running all my life with my heart wide open.But i"ve always loved with passion ! Yet i know some times i"ve been in the dark so deep, i could'nt see the light. There have been regrets as i walk down the road a little side ways. But then again my love has never been restrained. Yet sometimes i need to be alone,when someone has scarred my heart ! But yet i refuse to give up for my love has never been restrained ! with the ever quickening beat of the crying heart, i"ll let that be my guiding star. But if the moon is to bright and the beast wont let go , it makes no difference; My love has never been restrained !!!----always joseph c hitteman 6-10-2011-------------------------------- the heart just knows . trying to forget someone you loved is like trying to remember someone you never knew . only some have that precious love . but the weight of this makes it feel so dangerous. are you lisening to me...... my heart is calling. serching back and thinking and watching the moon light danceing upon your skin, feeling your body when i taste your kiss upon my lips . they say old love better than no love or is it better off a memory ! so now as i drift off to sleep i'll be dreaming memories with you. -----7-18 2011 - joseph c hitteman ------------------------------------------------ Prayer...Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Please Lord forgive me for all the souls I've hurt, blessed are the meek, while I walk tall and stomp my feet. Each day as the sun would rise, I would just spit and sputter and critisize. Life's been good I must confess, but I never really did my best. Most my life I prayed to thee, when the smallest of things would get to me. Now dear Lord I see the light why you put me here to live this life. Please Lord, please forgive me for if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take. AMEN!!---My prayer Joesoph C. Hitteman 7/18/11--------- This is a poem for my brother Michael Edward Travis--The rain falls where it wants to, The wind blows where it will.

May you soar to visions softly planted in your brain to Destinations unknown. May your heart never be silenced......Dad 8-6-2011 joe hitteman ............................. I walk with you, I talk to you, and even held your hand as I've held you in my heart ! The last time I saw you was in the misty moon light . As years pass by, I've stumbled on my path thats lit by the stars above ! But now I'm in my golden years, my soul still bleeds for you. I still feel you in my dreams. Your eyes, your smile, your tender kiss, your breath and warm embrace ! Yet your so much like a tender rose as I hold it to the sun ! I hope this paints a smile for you ,cause within that deep smile, I'll walk and talk and even hold your hand again ! I couldn't help loving you my whole life through . Always---- by-- joseph c hitteman ----------------------------------------------------2-15-2011------ as years have passed -----I look into the past. i think what a great life i've had ! traveling down memory lane, all the souls that have touch my soul and help make me who I'am. today as i look out into the sun light i think that my time was already written . I just had to live it ! I'm just amazed at the wonderful things that have happen in my life. yet i feel sorrow for things i'm not proud of, or maybe hearts i've broken ! And then i think, maybe thats my part --- for their story. Anyway for my family and friends and those that have passed by but in a glimpse , your all a part and forever in my heart always ! Joe c hitteman ----march 22--2011 Some people say they don't belive in heaven ! some say they might find a better day and some just can"t see the light ! Now as i'm older, i don't want to fight the feeling anymore . With , tears of joy and arms wide open. I'm building bridges to your heart. ---always --joe c. hitteman ------------------------damn i'll be old ! Joe has 46 years 1 months 30 days 5 hours 9 minutes and 56 seconds left to live!! How long do you have? The Death Clock.. as of april 2, 2011 11:53 a. m.-------------------------------Lazy day sunday--- Lightning flashin while thunder rolls---- Sitting on the front porch twittling my toes, Lightning strikes a nearby tree, scared the shit right out of me, up from my chair starting for the door, made a little slip and landed on the floor. --Here i am, walking through time taking these steps, through this life of mine where i an now, and where will i go is it all an allusion ? I really dont know. days seem to pass before long its years while contemplating lifes hopes and lifes fears. watching and waiting, just looking on, before i knew it my whole life had gone .---- jch8-9-2011--------------------------------------------MY DRAGON DREAM In days of old and knights were bold i dreamt i was a dragon, i'd fly from here to there, i'd fly just anywhere i search the skies, terrorise the clouds and fly high towards the sun, i'd fly over towns and villages the people would scream and run. Now with ever weaking of my mighty wings and breath could no longer spit fire. So i glid down toward this village field, and much to my heart desire! Soon i felt good so i stretch out my mighty wings, i looked to my left, i looked to my right, the villagers were all around. I flapped my wings, i started to rise i heard screams of horror, no more no more shall we plant beans for the dragon to devour. Now i was awaken from my dream by my wife Billie. As she shook me awake, she did exclaim which seem more like a scream no more beans shall you have. we just can't stand that gas thats coming out of your ass. written by joseph c hitteman 8-10-2011-------------------------Life is like a raging river, memories are like the waters feeding this raging river. They come from everwhere some good, some bad but menories all the same, From my childhood to the very present. With each memory made I look back and reflect ,but mostly i look at myself and ask why, how come or what if ! With time comes wisdom --- with wisdom comes memories that I cherish !!! joe hitteman 8-14-2011 --------Happy Birthday My Love---Billie Jean The love in my heart is still not gone, As I look through the window of time. With endless breath and pounding heart I see your lovely smile, While feeling my surroundings I comfortably smile at you. Yet here we stand with the test of time and your one year older, so as I send my wishes to you, I hope you know its true I'm so in love with you. aug 19,2011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort cause the only difference between trying and triumph is the { umph} !!! jch-9-9-2011 Joe Hitteman for devon marie hitteman my daughter If the world was mine to give you, it would be yours, if i could grasp the moon i would set it upon your shoulder, if i could gather the stars from heaven i would adorn you with them, god gave me a little angel and nothing can change that and i love you so very much---Dad 8-28-2011----------------------------------------------------------------------------------when i grow tired on this ladder of life, take my hand. when memories fade , like passing of clouds in the sky, hold me tight. when the stars no longer shine for me shead no tears. when the sea rushes to shore and my heart beats no more don't cry my dear , cause i've loved you like no other. written by jch 8-29-2011---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In my dreams i recall at seventeen, I'd been draggin my heart around. In a game looking for love that we all play. Thats when I met her and she said to me, blame it on your wild heart, you need one love, only one love divine to make a full heart. so when my day is dark ill think of my one love, it always brightens the day.so untill the stars no longer shine or the good lord calls me home may our hearts beat as one forever and a day. for one love, one love thats so divine ! jch 9-2-2011-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I've chased some of the devils daughters ,been with an angel in white. but the one i'm with is the queen of my heart, with raven hair and roseey red lips ,got natural beauty too ! heart of gold yet the temper of a wild mustang. But never have i been more tenderly touch than by my billie jean . 9-4-2011 jch---------------------------------------------------Why do things happen like they do ? Are they written in gods plans? are all good times in our past were they ever met to last. A lonly man is always looking for his guinever. falling in and out of love can overwhelm the soul and bleed the heart. untouchable to some who have no tangible clues or the ones with no souls . Why do things happen like they do . When you find love you gotta belive and never leave it alone, never-- never leave it alone. 9-4-2011 jch-------------------these thoughts are lodged in my head...... as teenagers you stole my heart! i linger on these memories. a thousand miles from home and years have gone by babe. believing in love with a woman such as you. it's wonderful how life can be when you follow your heart. i know a man ain't suppose to cry, but as i touch my tears, i'm telling you darling... my love will never die. no one else can sway me like you do. still when you take my hand i can't stop shaking. when i kiss your lips, my heart still quivers! and when you look at me with big brown eyes. "billie jean" how good it feels to hold you...................love you always my darling june 2011 jch--------------------------------------------------------Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.♥ devon marie hitteman 9-30-2011-------------------------------------Forgiving is part of life, If you don"t forgive that only hardens you and a empty can makes the most noise ! jch 2011-------------Joe Hitteman It's that time of the year that we all have so much fear ! As goblins and ghouls go flYing their way, and black cats cross your path. Beware of pumpkin heads, bats and creepy spiders too ! Something hautning in the light of the moon, as shadows creep and the owl calls Whoo! Whoo! Whooo!! and the ghost blast out a big old BOO! So as the kids go door to door and say trick or treet, just have them beware of the wicked old witch that flys by the light of the moon, on her rickedy broom, in search of her own SWEET-LITTLE TREETS ! HAHAHAHA ! HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEN !!!!!!---OCT, 2011 JCH------------------------------- Joe Hitteman Home sweet home I may never get to heaven, but when i see your smile and kiss your lips i'd say i've come mighty close----Love you Billie Hitteman aug.2011 jch-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now as the sun starts to set. I have a feelingi'll know i will regert, as leaves are falling and the wind start to rise. I look up into the sky at the moon. RIGHT there before me i see her.

This has been a fight for me, it's forever in my mind! So tomorrow I'm going to leave here, as I take one last look at this town and let you go from these arms of mine. She only needed more, more of my heart. But I know I must be going. Forever in my mind, forever in my heart.......for all my life. Forever and for always, forever in my mind . jch Joe Hitteman I hear a rap tap tap tap upon my door ! I respond who is it? No reply . Just another rap tap tap, again I reply who is it?

May the ears be the conscience of your tongue ! lol jch----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------People live with dreams and worried minds, yet these old eyes want to hold you forever ! Life runs slowly through our minds. But each tick of the clock time marches on. Were so blind to the best things around us, yet we live with scares of yesterday ! Like the fallen pebble of a wilting rose there will come a time when you need to see, i could hold you in my armes and make things right. The sweetest things in life we sometimes hesitate to grasp. Please dont look pass me, cause this love will be forever ! jch dec. 1-2011 .--------------------------------------------------In the dark I can hear you whisper. The scars I carry stem from you, running through my head it silently amazes me for the fool that I am and yet, your love stays with me. Do I pretend or do I dream some, never before have I been more lonesome!...... When cold rain falls, it cools my skin wondering if you'll ever miss me again. As a teardrop falls do forgive me, for you are my first love. As I grow older my love stays strong. People fade in and out your whole life through. Yet with a bewilderd mind and troubled heart we march on with time . As a storm cloud will pass and the sun shines through to show a pasty white sky. To live is to love---to love is to live! How much does this heart have to give. Like the twinkling of blue waters from an underground springs. The love from my heart will never end ! jch 12-7-2011---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACHAEL A. HITTEMAN When you were born and placed in my arms, that very instint, the world stopped for me. There was a settling in my soul and such a lovely feeling in my heart ! much like your big sister Devon Marie, we were amazed by you! And I love you so. I miss your kisses & hugs, most of all your (Daddy, I love u's) , walking with you and holding your hand..... Your, I don't like alligators when you met elevators! Most of all I just miss you!!! DAD 1-10-2012--------------------------------------- In the cold morning light as sunbeams dance upon new sprouts flowers push forth to gather the warmth, to inhale all that the world has to offer. Much of my life I known you can be alone in a crowded room. To find your place in this world, you can't be stagnant! Much like a flower you got to sprout and take in all the world has to give. Like the saying goes, you can't soar with eagles when you work with turkey's!!! Be that eagle and fly high among the clouds, let the sun glisten upon your wing tips, fill your lungs with the sweetness of the air, set your eyes to all thats below, lift your head to the wonders above you. Yet I'm shrouded by a mystery, while some people cherish, others misery's. Is it because they feel unloved, sad, or cheated? God said....Blessed are the meek! Walk this world, touch other's hearts as if they all were new born babes. So when the end does come and it surely will you wont be alone in silence. 1/18/2012 JCH---------------------She loves to surf and loves to ski high on a mountain side or surf in the, the warm blue green sea and in her i see glimpses of me . Oh this girl , this girl warms my heart so tenderly. I guess you can sae that God gave her to me ! This is my sweet daughter miss Devon marie, love you dad, 2-2-2012--------------------------------------------------------------------------Changing sun light to moon light, you can see the stars but not the light, If life gets to hard to stand, kneel ! May your words be as gentle as a wisper ! jch 2-4-2011-------------------------------- Devon Marie..... Valentine's Day will soon be here. Sweet dreams till sun beams find you. No soul can see itself as I see you for you and your affection has sliped past the sentries of my heart! Expectations can be wings, not bars. Yet years echo like waves upon a shore. You'll always be my Valentine's girl, (my rose) . Best I can do with this captive heart, were forever together though we are apart. For you are the true verifer of the best in me! Happy Valentine's Day my (Devon Marie) Love you, Dad 2-14-2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiara Marie.......... Yearning to grow to come of time, won't you be my Valentine! From a prickly pear to a desert flower. My love is in the place you rome. Your only 16 you got to stay at home. When you do fly, I pray the best for you. As you walk to that door with sureness and grace, don't you know you'll leave behind and empty space, here in my heart. The mystery could be fixed if you would just grow old and stay at home! .....Happy Valentine's Day Love Pawpa 2-14-2012--------------------------------------------------------------------------------MOM..... Mother I love you... Always will till the end of time, please won't you be my valentine ! Since I was a small boy about cupid size, you were the only girl in my eyes .Now grown-up with so many hearts to fill, tell you a little secret your still my girl!

I know one day when angels cry and your soul steps across the line, you'll always be my valentine ! Love you mom Happy valentine's day !....2-14-2012-------------------------------------- Rachel.......It seems like only yesterday with a teardrop in my eye. You were born with a wimper of a cry! Last time I saw you still burns in my mind. Rachel, won't you please be my Valentine! Like blue moon beams on silver wings that's how I keep you in my dreams, much like old photographs cause when you love someone, you sacrafice! In your world I have no meaning and I tried to understand and I cry silent tears. So with crystal clear vision look deep inside like eyes that can't be open. When you were born, I gave you my heart forever and ever. So wherever you go and whatever you do, you'll always be my baby girl. Happy Valentine's Day Rachel (Love You Dad) 2-14-12--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy valentines day Billie.....................Love rules the heart, I say it for always ! We lived hard in this dance of life . Never could I have picked a better wife. With the wonder of tomorrow I wanna grow old with you! We shared each hearts......each dreams.......each souls, please won't you be my valentine's girl! I'll hold your love within my heart for the ret of my days, tilll I close my eyes forever kiss me softly I'm forever yours my Valentine's girl! Love you my wife 2-14-2012-------------Here Iam ! I had the answers you made the rules. I was forever chasing after you . Love is a chain around my heart. When will I see you again ? Will your love only be a memory. Here I am, I close my eyes and begin to prey, I'm 60 and only six feet from going under ! Yet I've been looking for you everwhere. Such a heaviness in my head ! Hell what do I know. Here I am , Here I am It's all like a sad song . Just unchain my heart and let me go ! Here I am must I open up more ? Here I am it's just to late , with these eyes I only see the back road , but there you go again and here I fall again for Here I am ! written 3-5-2012 joe hitteman--------------------------Distance means so little when someone means so much, so when you think someone does'nt love you the way you want them to does'nt mean they don't love you with all they have ! Just remember where words fail the sound love speaks ! jch 3-24-2012.---I love the starry nights the warm spring mornings, flowers blooming, puppies playing, children laughing, cool glass of tea in the after noon sunshine, most of just being with you ! Dance as if no one was watching, sing as though no one was listening, love as though you have never been hurt before, and live as though heaven is on earth.....jch 327-2012---------------------------Tiara.....You're such a special Granddaughter Of that there is no doubt, The kind that lucky Grandparents Are proud to boast about... You're always very happy To stop and chat a while, And brighten up the room With the sunshine of your smile. It's true to say you've often heard How dear you are , but then Just can't resist this special chance To tell you so again. Pawpa & grandma jch3-27-2012-----------------------I'm sailing in my dream, I'm trying to be near you, You probably can tell by my eyes that I've been crying! The want to be forever young, is like a ship without waves, a bird without wings!This feels like a song without the words and a heart without a home. You stole my soul thats a pain I do without! But yet I still look to find a reason to find the mornin light! Yet everyday I've got to get away I'm locked in my chains, gotta get you outta my head, gotta get you outta my head jus feeling so blue. Sometimes I wonder what you would say if you knew I need you by my side, the hurt is so deep! The hurt is so deep. There is no pass this is only my future and the hurt is so deep! jch 4-1-2012------------------------When a woman loves a man, she plays her part close to the best, but wears her heart on her sleeve. Sometimes she's caught between the woman she is and the one she is expected to be. With an innocent smile and the soul of a child. She always gives more than she can. She knows how to hang on to my every word, she will be there till the end, with secrets she will never give away! When a woman loves a man........this woman holds me in the palm of her hand.....Billie I Love You!!! jch 4-22-20120-----------------------Till you been beside a man you don't know what he wants! Come over here and lay down beside me, I need to be touching you. Love me and kiss me, hide all the hurt away. Look into my eyes and give me that smile, you know the one that turns me on! Hold me close make me feel wanted. That's all I needed just that one look from you, that takes my breath away. My body grows weak my spirit grows strong. It's been so easy with you throughout all these years. No one could ever love you as I do! Your locked inside my memory, you are the light in me! Till life on earth is through I'll be needing you! The Lord has blessed me, he gave me YOU!!! 5-8-2012 jch--------------------------------------------As someone long perpared for the occasion.... her heart is radiant beyound your wildest measure. When words won't do. she wakes me with a kiss and kisses don't lie! I need you more each day . As you look into my eyes, I see the stars, oh how they shine for you and everthing you do !Always so magical yet my perception is a little fuzzy, still I'm capactivated by your smile and it's turned into something wonderful , much more then just a feeling ! I need you more each day ! No more lipstick promises, no more will I be decived and no more bad goodbyes . Love will prevail ! I'm checking in all my fears and letting go my heart. For you are my only need. You and me were meant to be ! I give all I have to you, for I need you more each day. jch 5-20-2012-------------------------------------------- Heart;s Desire....... Lets pretend you still love me and i;m your only one. We never know about the days to come, we all can lose our way. We all cry tears, we all can fall down. Nobody really wants to be all alone. Do you know all my memories are frozen in time ! Do you know how much i love you. Do you really know how much I care. For I always want you here beside me . To be with out you is like having an empty glass, when only you can fill my thirst . Iwant to sleep with you for ever. Do you know I want to die in your arms ! Cause without you there would be no memories , only pain that would fall from my eyes. You are my hearts desire !!! jch 5-27-2012-------------------------PEORIA.....The last thing I needed the first thing this morning was to think of day's gone by ! Help me let those old feelings go. I still march to the music , the love, and the souls that were all around. The sweet madness 60's,70's and 80's my American Pie! When all my tears have reached the sea and my sundown is near, my soul will fly into the mystic, i'll be coming home. You should know how it feels my friends! We all have traveled our rocky roads. The truth...? I've might have just gone crazy cause I'm still strung out over you...Peoria!!--JCH 6/9/12--------------------------------------Things I want to say before our tears reach the sea. You and I will never part for here on earth we've done our share. Far beyond the world that we see, we will be together for eternity! Love you Biliei Jean!!! 7-6-2012--------------------------------Life ain't always beautiful , but it's a beautiful ride . Love my children, grandchildren yes life is ' BEAUTIFUL ' , What a ride !!! jch 7-12-2012 .---------------------------------------- my twilight night Everything glowed with brilliant light Trees shined with glorious life I stood there absorbing the sight, When a soft wind caressed my cheek I was so amazed that i became meek The nightingale's song was tweet,tweet, tweet Sounded as though it was trying to speak, I gazed upon the starry sky When i had the desire to fly The trees whispered and sighed Sadly i said goodbye. ~T.M.H~ 7-5-12 I like it ! good job Tiara !--------------------------------------------------------------------------About me about you.....................When you slipped your hand into my hand the lonely sound of my heart brighten . As a flower needs rain, I need you. May the stars carry away your sadness as you sit by the sea and watch the sun go down . May hope forever wipe away your tears as you listen to the sea roll in . And when you sleep, may silence make you strong , for it is a thing of the heart ! As for me I'm rich for I've walked this path with you . jch 9-2-2012---------------------My first job was at dutch landscaper, where I got paid $15 to $20 a week. What I remember most about it is he spoke to me in half dutch half english and taught me how to drive a truck at 15 years of age. know I marched to the sound of my own drum all my life ! I know i've been called an asshole and a badass , i've never taken any shit from people and i've tried not to give people shit. I go were i want, do what i want. I have family & friends who truely know me ! I'm very intolerant of stupidity in people. I deeply feel for my family and friends. So many have gone now i still feel their drums. Live and let live cherished what god has given you march to your own drum. jch at about 6or7 years of age at mortin square park in peoria, a man had a bald eagle, he had a heavy chain strapped to one of its legs, and he tossed it in the air where it would fly a short distan ce then fall to the ground, he would pick it up and repeat his actions so he could show the bird off,i wished the eagle could have lost its chain and just fly off into the sunset, it was just such a beautiful creature and it broke my heart that he couldn't Gods been good to me,i have no chains , i can still fly!!!!!! 2-2-2010 jch.------------------------------------------You walk though this world with me and shared all my dreams. Remember looking at those rings, in our home town Peoria, so many years ago, not fools gold but silver in color like angel wings. I can't find the the words but yesterdays memories are as sweet as falling rain. I'm glad for all the good times you made my world worth while. When I'm with you my heart beats like thunder. But when your not here I look at the clock and it seems like time stands still. You walk through this world with me and shared all my dreams. After 40 plus years you still feel the same......."nothing changed." God let it thunder with lightning, let it pour cause thats how I feel, about you and me. If I could make a wish I think I'd pass, can't think of anything else I need...but I'm so happy you share my umbrella, all my hopes and dreams. jch 9-16-2012 ----------------------------------------We couldnt even say goodbye but in my heart I think of paradise. Lovers love but a heart can wait on indecision, Hello Darling its me talking to you. My thoughts are heavy......no alibi's , sun's long gone down, the sky is colored dark steel blue. Stabbed in the eye's by the flash of bright lights while walking along rocky silent road. Still in my thoughts I reach out to you this aint no place for a worried mind nobody knows, I hide it inside. But you will always be a part of me. I understand about indecision but you dont really know me, You dont know the chains I carry. But if I never see your beautiful face again, I'll go on loving you! Indecision, its nothing new to me. Never been a night so long and I'l...(read more) |
