where were you when I couldn’t read and all I could see on the road-map were lines and pictures and squiggly things never learning my way or plotting my path where were you when I lost my shoes and all I could wear were the socks you gave me that one Christmas morn when you were there to try them on...for me where were you when I could not hear what my soul was saying to my heart in words that seemed empty from their very start where were you when I came back from that place I went alone to find myself and how I got there with feelings that I alone swore...to own where were you when I couldn’t say good-bye and I couldn’t even say the words that were frozen in the breath-work of time obscure if spoken, if not…then absurd where were you...my heart wanted to confide ‘til I heard you whisper back...by your side...always by your side |

Ahhh, and all's well that ends well, steavenr. Happy endings are not always in our future. ~ What's The Difference Between Roast Beef And Pea Soup? / Anyone Can Roast Beef. ~ |

Love the flow of this Steaven I really like the ending and this part. "where were you when I came back from that place I went alone to find myself and how I got there with feelings that I alone swore...to own" Yeh, I know this one. Good stuff! Eric the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of reality though not beheld |

James...thank you sir for reading and commenting Jerry...and those happy endings we tend to call blessings...do we not? Thank you for reading taking the time to comment Eric, isn't amazing that the parts of our lives we do not wish to share are indeed the ones we have...thanks for stopping by...I appreciate it |
