Hi everyone. I was away for good reeason as I explained.With the help of a friend and advice I was told being away from what Ilove and who I am is hurting more than helping me. So i have decided maybe try and stay and still find my purpose in life. I have been writing and just this is where i need to be. I don't have all my feeling back on my left side so i am sorry abotu my typing here. I don't have anyone here to type this fo r me right now. A Letter To God Just placed secretively between two favorite books on a shelf And, on a baby blue background trimmed slightly with white Were words on paper never actually heard from the mouth And, between tear stained marks were the words she writes... The paper was every bit worn and wrinkled as if were old Yet, not a hint of dust on it remains It was stored for safe keeping for every new storm For it was obvious the letter was read over and over again... It was addressed to God and then signed from,"Just Me." But, there were so many heartaches written in between The first line spoke quickly of questions she couldn't find answers to And, begged for light through the dark she couldn't see through... Written from a trembling hand were thoughts about a once in a lifetime friend Her pages were consumed with grief to the very end Unsure of why life has taken her stronger side away You could feel her pain as she continued to say... "Dear God, I live but no more without my friend at my side For she is what gave me courage to open these eyes Had I known that time would find me fighting alone I would have never allowed her heart to become my home."... For as permanent as the words in the Bible to never fade Were her words of loneliness in it's many shades For it was written in black for the next new paragraph or two Of the loneliness and sadness she's fallen into... She wrote line after line of what this girl has meant And, asked why God would take back what was heaven sent? She highlighted her own words of how memories just tear her down And, underlined that her place in this world now cannot be found... The rest in bold were the last lines left to be read And, that did HE understand the words she's said? She scribbled in hopelessness that for her friend she will Find her a lifetime from now waiting still... Sauni Sauni @~~~>~~ |

You have written your feelings most beautifully. I didn't read why you were away, but it sure is nice to see you here posting If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Oh, Saunni, thank you for this gentle poem. I am so glad you have decided to do this again, for I believe writing has such healing powers. I know reading here at pips is helps in healing. I am living witness to that, as it has helped me in more ways than I can count. Thanks for posting this. And thanks for the photos you emailed, sisters, and hubby.  |
