When I was little I was
always told
you look exactly like you dad
and I was glad
my dad is handsome
but most of all
he's always happy
So I grew up
telling jokes
just like me dad
always ready for a laugh
always happy
But somehow
life worn me out
Now I hate to admit
today I became my mom
hard to please
disatisfied
bitter
complaining about everything
But I'll fight
this inner war to the end
I want to be like my dad again

BRAVO!!! Oh Walker, yes, yes, and I know you can, for you deserve to be so very happy and I am sorry that your mo couldn't be the same as your dad and someday she may have the heart to forgive you if she hasn't already! (kiss on cheek) This is very emotionally powerful, sweet friend, I just know you will win this fight, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And I believe you will, walker. Just keep up the good fight! Nice work!

Stars will shine when I am gone
Earth will spin on as before
Gulls still race along the shore
Morning star, still kiss the dawn

Walker your poem just touched my soul. It is so heartfelt. I always wanted to be like my mom. My dad was the one I never wanted to be like and thank God I didn't. But maybe you are wrong, we always get a little unsettled with the everday trials of life, and perhaps that is just what you are going through. And you wrote this most beautiful poem. So Walker just maybe, maybe inside, You are like your dad.
