I walk alone.......

My journey through this life began
with a stern smack of a hand
just a baby, fresh, to small to know
that I was born alone to walk alone

Family surrounded me, apart of, I felt
some happy, some sad, memories I was delt
still too young to see how I was prone
to my experience to walk alone

A family member showed me too soon
about abuse, solitude and gloom
I was too young to know how wrong
another step towards walking alone

My family later fell apart, divorce
stability, consistancy no longer a force
another step to creating a heart of stone
Another guarentee I walk alone

First love a softening of the heart
a warming feeling, never to part
It was not meant to be, I began to roam
Nothing new, I knew, I walk alone

One day a sudden health condition
doc says it is serious with rendition
why? what? how? no answers to condone
Never knowing more now that I walk alone

Through recovery, consideration and vision
long meditation and personal health lessons
I have found the hand that reaches out for others
will then forever walk alone with anotherbigsmile flowerforyou

This is just a slight history of my life, with the feeling of walking alone that I had always had. I am now much better so I hope it doesn't bring people down.flowerforyou

I hear you Dragoness.:heart:

Sometimes life gives us lessons we have no idea what the purpose is for.

Then, someone appears, and we realise what all of those lessons were for...it may be a child in need, a young woman, anyone.... we SEE them, and we understand.flowerforyou

Empathy is a gift, although it may come from trial by fire.

Resilience is an art, and you are resilience in motion.:heart:

You never walk alone Barb...because there is always an angel on your shoulders that God keeps there for you when He can't be there. But also, you have your friends, which I am one of, and I will help be your strength.

Wolf thank youflowerforyou I know this now but I lived a long time in my life "walking alone" and events reinforced it. I posted this in hope that someone out there who feels how I used to feel would see hope. I am still a solitary creature but I reach out to people now. It is still a learning process for me but I am much better now.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy the budding friendship you and I have formed, it is a blessingflowerforyou
