~From where I sit!~
~ A lifetime of searching for Rest, Stability, Routine and Justice! But through it all, understand there isn't anything guaranteed in this life but the best of what you make of it! And a GREAT CAREER, however lonely and living single for so many years there may have been in reaching it, IS a Result that CAN BE LIVED WITH! Contrary to the joy of the vision you might have once had when starting out in your late teens & early adulthood! Because its far better than ending up with nothing to show for it... for all that time! The feelings we share, the words we write, the thoughts we share, from the gifts we have been given, THIS IS OUR JUSTICE! The End! Take care of yourself! :-)Amen!
~From where I sit!~
From where I sit,
I see how my life hasn’t turned out
Alright, (As I had planned)
For all the years of happiness
That just might have been had,
OH HOW SAD...
Pursuing my dreams
Is all that I now have,
Without the love of that family in my life.
All those children have grown,
And many have probably now got
Children of their own,
Knowing that family!
And so I am now just a distant memory
In their minds,
I am now just a memory for them
From those times,
Where once
Could have been the greatest
Aunt and cousin like friend
Whoever lived?
The greatest love story
Of all time,
Living in the hearts
And souls
Of one Family
That I had hoped needed me
As much as I once thought
I needed them;
God’s love a mystery forever untold?
God’s love allowed
To be free,
And my being
With someone in this World
Who could have made me happy,
In my reality...
At that time
A 17 yr old mind;
But when the truth was told
No justice came,
1 girls answer ringing clear through
about the side she's sticking too
And just like that,
Everything changed Forever
There is no understanding
These sorts of terrible events,
And so people part ways
And life moves forward
So much different,
Then how the dream had started out!
And so,
The Best of all the years
Have gone by,
And a part of me
Looking back now,
Will never Understand why...
The best of all the years
Have Gone by?
