These are my own words. They tell a story of 4 years. This starts and ends in the same place in time.
I would love to hear what you have to say. Email me at redsasquatch2@hotmail.com whether you think it sucks or it's wonderful. Give me your best critique, your worst criticism.
Taken by complete surprise
Out of nowhere popped in my life
Took me for a little spin
Can you see the sparkle in my eyes
My world had fell apart
Injury took so very much away
Left nothing but her and the kids
Kicked and stomped on my crumbling heat
Took all my might to stand up tall
Kids amazing took it in stride
Starting over without even a bed
Turning tides found a friend to call
Moving forward one step at a time
Everyone faltered all around
New ones came and quickly went
Thoughts turned to never having mine
Wandered blindly on my own
Broken heart still loved and shared
No one touched, held all away
Looking for guidance, throw me a bone
He came around an amazing friend
Made me sad sitting all alone
Never give up came his caring voice
Can't imagine what's around the bend
So I waited, holding my head high
Buried myself deep into the night
He made my dream come true, trombone
While holding my breath just getting by
Finally the long battle I did won
Though softball came with every breath
School was ending, summer coming soon
Things very hard, but oh so fun
All of my hope really was gone
On my screen day after day awaiting
Though linking I was meant to be alone
Scared to death my heart she'd won
Can't explain what's runnin' in my head
Time is relative, this I do know
Holding my breath, my heart keeps pounding
The face that I see when I lay in my bed
Always waiting with such anticipation
Like an addiction I can't let go
Nothing to hide, don't even know how
Looking for always that participation
Talking each day as time goes by
No topic of conversation off limits
Trust and Safety sitting at my side
Can you, can you see the sparkle in my eye?
