In truth it stands.


An insight to my life.

When i was but a young child
Not even in my teens
I lost someone so dear to me
It haunted all my dreams

The trauma at such a tender age
Left me partially paralyzed
I spent year in a childrens home
And saw a world through unseeing eyes

But time the healer that it is
Plus help and nursing care
Returned me to my family
Without my two wheeled chair

The scars i carried mentally
For more then half my life
But now i have children of my own
And a very loving wife

There were other things that happened
Of which i cannot speak about
The memories to painful
They would make me scream and shout

But in one thing i sought solace
And brought some peace to me
Imagination pen and paper
And my love of poetry.

Dear Pen...our writing is truly a healing agent in our lives, as I know for myself this is tue. So many insights into your soul in this piece, I just hope that someday I can begin to write, or maybe confront those tragedies in my life that some time haunt me. As for now, they stayed hidden in the box I put them in....pushed far to the back of the bottom shelf of my heart.
Excellent and brave write.....yet, tender and full of survivor's heart.

Love to you my {{{{friend}}}}}
