she blesses my days
with her words and her ways
offering me some sanity
too strong for her own good
she grinds out the days
kissing everyone's reality

she's taught me a lesson in strength
seeing what she can endure
her soul still maintains it's integrity
how does she stay so pure?

she tells of her life
i glimpse into her soul
and it tears me to pieces
to see the pain that it holds

and to hear of it here
when i'm so far away
and have nothing to offer
but an ear and dismay
that life can do that
to someone so pure
and yet she smiles right through
more than she should have to endure

i wish i could trade places
not with her though
and not even with him
but with one of his friends
and just for a few days
i'd give her her life back again...

I see so much in this, well barely cause you
moved me to tears again, how will I ever get
those wings  ...above it all your heart
and soul shine through every word. Sometimes
just knowing someone cares is enough, I know
this is one of those times.  Writing from
your heart...there is nothing more beautiful
than that Tony~

This shows your heart as you have been told and the sincerity of your plea is a tender loving one to say the least.  I agree with Jm...the implications of the last lines are so very cool indeed.

You have stunned me to say the least......I sit here and try to think of what to say and there is so much. You tender, loving heart radiates through. Right through me...this touched me so. One should be so lucky to have someone so kind in their life, who values them so, who you speak of is very lucky indeed.

The depth of care poured from your pen.

Often times we can't help someone who's in a bad situation, they must at long last do it themselves, for themselves.

Peace.

I was adding this to my library...but I
can't unless I reply again so I guess I'll
have to tell ya I like it...again. My
favorite part you ask.......

i wish i could trade places
not with her though
and not even with him
but with one of his friends

Trading places not with your friend to take
her place...not with your friend's
husband/boyfriend...with a friend so you can
be close to her and give her your
support...very cool Tony~

TMcCoy~
This is a tender and compassionate
look into the heart of a real man.
I certainly enjoyed your thoughts.
