First I have to say that the start of this poem was given to me by a very dear friend. I hope he feels I have done justice to his words and that the message he inspired reaches his heart With a handful of memories And a pocketful of dreams She sets out to find her way Running from her childhood With a headful of steam Determined she would find a brighter day She doesnt know what she's looking for She only knows it isnt here But no matter where her search may lead her She knows no price to pay is to dear To start a new life To be a new her Without the shadows of the past To fly on wings untouched To be free of all that haunts her And the things she wants so much So with her hands full of fading memories She throws them all to the wind And with her pockets full of bright new dreams She takes the gift of him Thank you my friend |

"Without the shadows of the past To fly on wings untouched To be free of all that haunts her" Beautifully done! I loved it!! sp  Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Paula,If I said well done, the words would not be enough. So... Scattered to the winds are now the memories first loving to take their place, that's how it should be with no regret and shining hope re-writing history so that from the the past long gone, passion sets her free. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
