Dedicated To My Sami <3 I have changed some things in this. 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 not to 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 ones, 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...

Lady, this seems sad to me, and it is very very powerful. You always amaze me with the reach of your writing. It reminds me so much of how I love to write. I hope things are well with you. *Jenn* How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

Oh Sauni, I'm sure that day will come, when you are all together again, laughing and splashing more glitter on those trees. Hang in there, your time is just around the corner. Can you feel it? Hugs to you, and Sami too. Keep smiling, and keep writing. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Saunni, this is so very sad, I can believe this story with all my heart for I believe many parents gace these experiences as their children grow, my heart goes out to you, dearest friend! (kiss on cheek) I too pray that they will return to you soon and you can again spend every Christmas and special times together like this! We all love you so much, sweet friend, my thoughts and prayers are with you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

The power that you speak of is very strong, and will prevail. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Saunni, you write beautifully of your pain. Remember that deep sorrow is God's beginning to the discovery of all peace and joy. Sorrow builds strength for life's long journey. Just trust God for peace. It will come.  ((Saunni)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
