Deep colors of purple do I see, A kaleidoscope of my life, Passes before me. Pictures in my mind, Fade in and fade to black, Perpetual scenes of days way back. A youthful face so full of fright, It taunts my sleep, all through the night. No place to hide, it does not cease, No love, no honor, no time of peace. Alone and confused, this child I do dream, I try to awake, to hide from his scream. The teardrops they fall, from his eyes of brown, A short lifetime of sadness And burdensome let down. He ponders the day, some day when he's older, He dreams of a home, with more love And less colder. In a corner he cries, curled up like a baby, A whisper to self, "Will somebody save me?" Tossing and turning, awake as can be, My nightmare revealing, A much younger me. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Albert, this is so very heartbreaking, sweet friend, when I was a little boy I suffered so many nightmares almost every night and wanted to just end my life and though He helped me, I still wish I could have lived a happier childhood! (sad sigh) This is very poignant, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Albert, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
