im not real sure why it is
why i feel the need to give
why at times through out my life.
everything i do just isnt right

ive stopped what i was doing for a friend
traveled the world to be there till the end.
held there hand in biter sorrow
only to be left alone on the shore of tomorrow

tomorrow they say will never come.
but ive been there more often then less
and its not fun.
yet even though i feel dispare,like i want to quit.
like i no longer care,i cant help it.
its my nature to be there
to be there for the ones i love,
through thick and thin with care and love.

yet even though i constantly try
even though with them i have cried
im always left with the same goodbye.

and a lingering thought of why we try.is it for the fact we feel,that we ourselves went through the same ordeals.
is it just our destined lives to help others with out reprise.
for i am a man that changed his life.not permanatly not for any rights.but for woman that i cal mom.who in the end left me behind.
she asked me to come back this way.so she wouldnt be alone christmas day.and here i sit all alone.no one to share the christmas joy with.
not really angry not even pissed
just pondering this little bliss
why we try???????

I think most adult children make a lot of exceptions for their parents... even though those same parents may have let their kids down so many times while they were growing up... and still do in one form or another.

I'm glad you said but I got to be me. :) Don't change and don't get bitter :) I relate too.
