I knew that you were bent..a tad off center
I understood that you had your areas of strife
I tried so hard to help you, and to mentor
So that you could make the most of your life
But it's becoming plain to me, acutely
That you are shattered, not just bent
And though you know I love you absolutely
And you know the time and effort I have spent
I cannot put your pieces back together
I cannot mend your heart or fix your mind
You will probably be this way forever
You will leave my hopes and dreams for you behind
While you find your own way in your own style
I'll watch you, fighting tears and holding still
I will hope and pray for you the whole while
And try to understand, you're ill
The way you find will be the way for you
I cannot ask for change: I cannot interfere
The only thing I beg of you to do
Is to find a life that works for you, my dear
I wish that it would bring you joy and smiles
I wish that it would ensure your success
But if all you do is weather all your trials
I will know that it could have been so much less
Just know that whatever this life brings you
I will be here to offer my love
No matter what, you know I'll always love you
And for now, that's all I am sure of

Hiker that is beautiful, sad but beautiful

Thanks. It's about my daughter.

nice

Sometimes all we can do is pray. I knew it was very personal, I love the way you articulated, sometimes it's hard to put complex feelings into words.

You are very kind, thank you.

(((Hiker)))

((((Love))))) Good to see you.

Many souls get tuned in this life, some for aonly a corner turn. Some for a half and SOME for the rest of their lives on this plain. I hope and PRAY your daughter finds her self before she leaves this life..Many have who I thought couldn't,,so with GOD their is always LIGHT and even a candle omits a change in temperture...
This was a sweet and loving faithful love to your daughter with the real expressions of your lost in her thoughts, but never w/o love for her...

Thanks

People all over the country are praying for her.

A beautiful piece of work, Hiker....

When it comes to our kids at times all we can do is the best we can and hope it all sinks in within time. Other then that all we can do is be there if they fall and reach out. Other wise they must fly on their own.
