My life feels like a tidal wave One moment I'm sky high, the next I'm completely down It in a split moment my life forever changed In this sadness, though I refuse to drown From pain comes true healing This is what I've been told It's the experiences that shape us into who we are Once set, nothing can break that mold This ocean of life brings one wave after another For a moment I feel my spirits fall Then I think of all my blessings I see the beauty of it all Still though I can't help feel a little cheated I never got to see you alive and well In the past though I shall not remain For the past is no place to dwell Something so precious has been taken from me I will fight though to gain it all back This will not stop me from living and loving This won't be the last attack It is ironic that by losing you I was able to find the REAL me It's funny how life works out this way That pain somehow sets you free Becky and Mom if you can hear me Please know that I love you Take care of each other Whatever you do "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Aimster....Your poem reminded me of this one of mine. Wishing you well!  Trying to find you when the sky sends warm to February and all the scattered down clouds have gone to other grief, I realize, to be sleeveless and skip into your place in time with a smile is not about looking for you, but about finding me. |

This pain, so raw Jagged it cuts like a knife I want to scream out loud Why again? How many times in my life? All I wanted was a chance To breathe...to breathe that air Fate wickedly laughed at me If only I had been there Walking into that hospital I felt a cold, a cold to my very soul Months have passed by I still do not feel whole I'm an abanoned shipwreck No treasure though to be found Here I am floating Grasping...gasping...I need solid ground Stop ripping my soul I have had enough, no way to continue on No more please I've done nothing wrong-- Black skies, stormy seas Stop at once, I command you Look at my face, just look See these tears of blue? My heart aches For you both, it makes me so mad It aches for the one that I lost Equally as much for the one I never had-- "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |
