 Glitter On The Tree I was walking through today with missing you written on my face I carried this breaking heart through out my every move There's just some days that I barely can lean on hope It takes all I have within me to just think of you... For I feel as heavy as the stones when I can't touch what is mine I get lost trying to run to safety in my mind If I can keep a distance between your face and my memories of us Then it's one more mile I make it one lonely step at a time... I was beneath the dark blue sky trying to forget all my pain I then strolled out in what nature provided me with I stumbled along every uneven piece of ground out there Looking for just a little something to give this heart a lift... I passed by flowers, strong one, and a few weak ones too It was the wilted ones I seemed to know by heart I kept walking endlessly in circles hoping each time would be new Holding onto sanity in any form while we are apart... On my path that I must have walked a hundred times or more The ground now was more than worn below my feet I knew I must rest a little before I continued my walking again So, I just leaned exhaustingly against that familiar tree... And, to my left I caught a glimpse of something after all this time It shined with magnitudes of color before my eyes I sighed in the God please help me kind of way And, nothing could stop the tears that I instantly cried... For, there was the glitter on the tree you left to mark the spot Where you and your baby brother drew some pretty things I stared in amazement at how long that picture must have been there And, I died a little more with the memory the glitter would bring... On my knees, before that old oak tree I gave into all strength I had ever known There's no use of forgetting what I'll never be getting But, I'm so down with the power of wanting you home... @~~~>~~> *Sauni* Sauni @~~~>~~ |

Saunni the wonderful thing about love is it has no distance or barriers, and both you and even the children, as young as they, are know that. Nothing anyone can say eases the aching of a Mother's heart, but you alone have the power to witstand it with your strong convictions and foundations of love for them. My heart goes out to you, honey. Keep writing it out for there is comfort in your words. (hugs) and beautiful picture of the children by the way, and you do hold the key to their future in the palm of your hand remember that. ~*If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ |
