for savana!!
i was reading my journals,before going to bed and found this.....i think i wrote it about six seven years ago.....................................
got married when i was nineteen
was the wedding i had always dreamed. my parents sent us on a cruise
and his, they furnished the living room. when i was hurting in labor with his son, he never left my side,stroking my hair
when i needed a break from motherhood,everyone was there
grandmoms and dads,they visited all the time
my loving husband,he never strayed-always at home playing guitar
planting flowers out in the yard. he worked two jobs to make ends meet.
when things were rough,we always had help-tv broke-mom and dad said,here.
cupboards bare,food would appear. the kids all grew to straight a-
loved by everyone,.saying and doing everything right
and even divorce, nothing bad it would bring,
family,friends, still by both our sides
we stayed friends,no dad could try harder, to do all he could
through every turmoil,overdose,eviction,job loss and anything more
there was always someone offering help at the door.
i ended up living on the beach. bought three condos,went on retreats.
my life couldnt be better and yet i dont know it
cuz this song/poem is nothing but a lie
it aint about me,for it is i,who cries
its about them and all they dont see-the ones whose lives seem to always fall into place
yet never seem content,having so much to say
with nothing in their souls,their hearts
plastic,shallow,sometimes unkind
making me sure i wouldnt trade this life of mine.
all i have learned all i have tried
all i have lived all i have died
the faith that sometimes seemed to be lost
but always found
bonds,strength,compassion
appreciation abounds
no one knows,feels nature and spirit as i do
except those who have traveled the roads i have ,too.
