Sacrifice Of Me
By: Noah Eaton
2/1/02

My dear Lord, I've lost my wings
I can't find a song to sing
It's so cold out here
This child I held deep inside of me
The star of many memories
Where did you run out there?

It's been too few years
I've lived in vain
I have nothing
I feel ashamed
In all this time
Part of me has died
I try to understand these tears I cry
All that I've left behind...

All the times I've missed the ice cream truck
All the moments the sun never came up
I was never cared
In all this timke I've been abused
All these prayers I could never use
Streams of tears flowing out there

It's been too few years
I've lived in vain
I have nothing
I feel ashamed
In all this time
Part of me has died
I try to understand these tears I cry
All that I've left behind...

All I ever wanted was to feel free...
All I want is to feel free...

It's been too few years
I've lived in vain
I have nothing
I feel ashamed
In all this time
Part of me has died
I try to understand these tears I cry
All that I've left behind...

All I was has crumbled at my feet
I just want to find a melody
To compensate
For this sacrifice of me...

Thank you Noah, for reminding us that even when life has roses that there are thorns. Looking back never solves anything. We need to just use our learning and keep our eyes on the future. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Noah,
This is a good song-kinda depressing, but a lot of the good ones are. I like it. When the sun shines you'll feel better, I guarantee.

Made me think of that upbeat Christain song.

He set me free
yes he set me free.
He broke the bonds
of prison for me.
I'm glory bound
my Jesus to see.
Glory be to God for
he set me free.

And he will...no matter what we endure...the freedom is there when we are ready to take hold of it...James

Noah, I have felt this way many times over the years. But I PROMISE, you have a brilliant future ahead. And you are free, already, because you can say how you feel.

Noah dear, God loves you so so much. He shows you every day how much in the beautiful words He puts in your soul to write. and then He shows you when you post and share with us those words. And all your wonderful replies. You are a gem. A diamond. Don't ever forget that. floria

*sigh* just look to the future, dear Noah...the day will come when you will understand the past but to keep going there will only keep you depressed...move ahead in life and let it embrace you...**big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
