Poem For Us All

[missyk]

I have some very close friends that I keep in touch with over the computer...and one in particular sent me a poem she wrote "for me". It's touching enough that I asked her permission to put it up here for all of us to share and she agreed.

*****************************************************

The pieces drop ... and shatter,

The dreams stop ... and scatter,

but hearts don't break, right?

You can make it through the night ...

and life goes on.

-

Dreams crumble to dust,

Do you go on? you must.

You put on a smile

and pretend for a while ...

and life goes on.

-

Thinking this too shall pass,

while you wonder, does love last?

You lose your faith in fairy tales,

and the magic wand now fails ...

but life goes on.

-

Happy endings don't come around

and people sometimes let you down.

You pull it together

and you'll make it ... whatever ...

because life goes on.

-

You think of the things that make you smile;

you call up your friends 'cause it's been a while.

You sit outside and feel the sun,

and you know that it happens to everyone ...

and life goes on.

-

You cuddle the ones you love the most,

and you learn to ignore the other ghost

of feelings that need to be swept away,

or tucked inside for a rainy day ...

after life goes on.

-

Someday soon you'll find some peace

and then you'll be glad of the release.

Those things that you lost

came at so high a cost ...

and life goes on.

-

The pieces drop ... and shatter,

The dreams stop ... and scatter,

but hearts don't break ...right?

You can make it through the night ...

Life goes on.

Wow-what a great poem. I'm sure it truly touched you with everything you must be going through. I can't even imagine how you feel. I am hoping for better days to come for you and your family.
