What you took, What you left By Richard Maxfield 1-5-2001 You have been gone a long time But sometimes I still think about you When I look around at what all you left What you walked away from it says volumes The things you took with you says things also When you walked away theses are but a few things you left Pictures of our babies are all still here Baby books with all the memories of their birth Our wedding book along with every picture of us Not one picture of me did you take with you You left all memories of our family Pictures and memories of your family Your mother and dad sister and brothers My mother and sisters and brother All memories of all our friends The most important things you left behind Is your daughter, with her loving heart Her tear filled eyes as you walked The one heart on this earth that loved you that most A person that would have gave his life with out thought What you took with you, the things you thought important Like your collection of shot glasses Pictures of your self-alone Your clothes, what was left of your heart Our bed, my love went with you now its left behind |

Very sad...it's truly too bad that these things have to happen. The saddest thing is the broken family with the children left to search their own soul so deeply before it's time for them to do so. My heart goes out to you Richard and I wish you the best as you press on into the future...there will be someone there for you...I just know it...take care ethome |

Ah Richard I am so sorry...take very good care of your daughter...she may say she understands, but if I get the gist of the poem and the truth it rings, all I can say is...I've picked up pieces of aftermath myself...hugs... |

Hugs to you and smiles. One day you will be whole again. I believe in hope Stone walls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a cage Minds innocent and quiet take That for a hermitage If I have freedom in my love And in my s |
