I keep searching for the peace
that I once found in you,
but you are no longer him
I'm afraid that it's true.
He once was a fine
and upstanding young man
but unlike you he
would never have ran.
Away from his troubles
he quickly did flee
just a shadow of the man
that he used to be.
He
used to walk
so proud and tall
but I'll be damned if again
I will watch him fall.
I pray that his soul
shall never cease
and that he will come back
when his soul finds his peace.


(I love you baby, don't ever forget
who YOU are!)




On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
~Me~

I would hope they read, and listen, to the words you've penned! Take care!
