Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder why am I here?
Other times I think why should I care.
Everyone Is always saying "Don't Worry."
What they don't understand is that is all that I have,
worries.

I worry about money.
I worry about time.
I worry about what little time I spend with my kids.

You see, worries are like raindrops.
First, your worries come once every couple of weeks.
Then you look up and all you have is thunderclouds,
lighting and rain all around.

I wonder sometimes where I belong?
In a big house with my two children.
In a good job with enough money.

Or here with no real home,
no money
and worse of all, without my kids.

Oh you didn't know I have two kids.
Well they are my world.
I love them to death.

Sometimes I wonder Do they need me?
Do they really need a mother with nothing?
Nothing to offer and nothing to share.

All I want in life is to care for them.
To give them everything they could possibly need.
I want to teach them about life.
I want to teach them about time.

Show them they need to learn the good from the bad.
The right from the wrong.
Have fun in life, set your goals high.
Your dreams even higher and never give up.

You see life would be simple, if we could just turn
the page when you didn't want to finish the story, or
even hide this book when you were just plain tired of
it.

But, It is not like that.
You must read every word for they all mean something.
Everyone says that you will be alright if you just
have faith.

Well, I know plenty of people with all the faith in
the world and to this day they are struggling to
just get by.

What I say is you need hope!
Just hope that it will get better.
Hope that you really can be happy!

Hope that when you awaken in the morning that there is
someone there who wants you there.
If you have that then you are right where you should
be.
Stop Wondering???

That place you can call your home.

It may not be in a nice neighborhood,
but, if you are wanted there then that's it,
home.

I hope you get something from reading this.
It doesn't really make any since, just alot of words
on paper is all that it is.

Sometimes it helps to put it all down.
Look back at what was written.
Then you start to realize that it is truely better to
shake it all off and don't worry about tomorrow.

Just live for Today!

Sometimes the best pieces happen when we stop trying to artistic and just write.

Destiny,

I couldn't agree more with what Brad just had to say.  Sometimes simple speaks more eloquently than lovely imagery.  This was right from the heart.  Good work, my sweet friend.

You posted questions I was getting ready to answer and then found the answer yourself.  Maybe that is why we write, it helps us to sort things out.  If you have two children who love you, you have the world.  Everything will take a little time to work out but it will come.  You have the important pieces right now.  Joyce
