Hi! Congratulations on the new job!

Ohhh it came out beautiful!! It was so great to watch the lines be added one by one!! Nice job to you all!

Your right blonderockermom, wouldn't it be nice to think enough to see before we do things! And thanks for reading it.

Thanks for reading it ObscureLight

and thank you too ChelleBelle

Yes your right MsTeddyBear2u.. if only they could see. Thank you.


Thank you pkh.

And you too shadow_princess

what if in that moment of time
you could be made to stop and think
of us, her, them, and of him
would it change the outcome?

what if in that space of time
you could see what it would do to me
how it would change her
what it would do to them
what life would be like for him
would you put that gun down?

what if in a fraction of time
you could witness the pain
see the tears spill down
feel the crushing pain
watch the agony
would you flush those pills instead?

what if in that heartbeat or less
you saw the future without you
how long my heart would hurt
how she'd never find another
how different they'd carry on
how he'd never be a brother
would you slow that car down?

What if for that moment of time
you could see, feel, and hear
what it would be like to be us
would it turn your life around
just enough
to keep from putting you in the ground?

One lost young life-so many broken hearts. So sad and so true
I agree, sadly beautiful

It's beautiful

Oh yes, I can totally relate to this one too!
It's wonderful!

Thank you all so much for your kind words and opinions. I really do appreciate it. After a while I just couldn't figure out if it said what I needed it to, or if I was rambling. And yes, I'm leaving it as it is now ..thanks again, to all of you.

Oh Thank you so much, I really need them to know..I just wasn't sure if I was rambling on and saying nothing, I really appreciate it, thank you 3 so much!!

I'm trying to get across to my boys, the ones I took in as teens, that I love them, that they can lean on me, that I will always be there for them, and that they have done as much for me, as I have for them. But I can't seem to get this right. I was hoping for suggestions from some of you. I've been trying for days and can't get it right. I'd like to give it to them soon...Anyone got a few minutes? Thanks...

The first of you came into my life
when I thought my life was over
just by being yourself
you helped me to recover

Seven others followed
different from than the last
each one harder than the others
running from the past

It was hard for you to deal with
the old life now is over
lots of changes this new life offered
no more running for cover

But you took a chance on life
and what it had to offer
beating all the odds
still a lot left to discover

The last one to join us
was harder than the rest
patience was a virtue
we all whispered and not in jest

He was our troubled one
never really happy or sad
somewhere in-between
and actor dubbed McQueen

We directed our eyes skyward
praying with all our hearts
for this one wasn't going to dream
he was just falling apart

With some verbal cues
and praying into the blue
he pieced himself together
it seemed he had some clue

But he chose life's offering
for someone else
not himself
not his dream it seems

He suffered in silence
on no one did he lean
unable to forget the past
it fell apart at the seams

He took his own life last week
Life just took him over
For some of you life has just begun
for him its really over

The note in my hand says it all
it's all just as it seems
Mailed to the oldest
the rest remains to be seen

For those he left behind
life has kind of paused
leaving us looking for a cause
Don't give up, I love you all

You've made me a promise
extracted from you all
Something I've never asked
guess I'm not quite on the ball

If it gets to be too much-come home
for at home we believe
in you, in life, in dreams
don't go it all alone

sometimes life isn't what it seems
sometimes it's a wonder
sometimes its a dream
son's of mine don't forget
I'm here for you to lean

In June he turned 23
So much of life he's never seen
Now he'll never get the chance
to see, believe, and dream

Hey I've done that! Then mumbled and grumbled and fumbled to get cash, throwing on cloths I didn't give a thought to, found the store with one eye open, first to find the hot coffee they brewed, that would enable me to find the stuff in the can I know they have here somewhere....
