I listen as the tree's branches scrape against the window
I watch as the rain makes rivers in the unmowed grass
I sit here rocking, and tiredly lean back against the pillow
I sigh, I know these thoughts will not soon pass
My mind takes the road it so often travels
I go past the high and low landmarks of my life
I feel the knittled cloak of my past unravel
Time slices by with the sharpness of a knife
My childhood was so fleeting, a wisp of smoke so gray
Sometimes it almost feels like a fragment of a dark dream
It was not one of love and joy, no matter what they say
Many were the days and nights spent in a silent scream
I wonder if they ever knew, I wonder if they ever cared
I wonder why they never saw the signs of trouble I wore
I wonder if they questioned why I would never share
The life that went on behind my closed door
I've tried to do as all the prattle has said
I've tried to push the thoughts into a locked file
But to give up your past is the same as dead
You must reconcile to it, give up the denial
I may not be able to run from those dark days
I'll always carry that as a part of my soul and heart
But I can learn to make my life better in so many ways
I will learn how to accept and love myself for a start
I listen to the birds calling me from the trees
I watch life go on behind the shadows
I look to the sky smiling and fall to my knees
Thank you God for helping find the good in me

AMEN! And thank you God for teaching
us all the life lessons you bring our way
only to strengthen us so we may share
with and help others because of it! Again
I say AMEN!
Blessings,
Rob |
