I kept my word, and silent lay
in the grave, the whole of the
truth.
Tho it pains my heart to give
up what once was dearest to my
heart...I no longer feel the
need to pretend to be who I am
not.
I no longer live my life for
the innocent who now must live
their own life, and follow the
paths of parenthood for themselves.
So much, I could say, that is
better left unsaid.
Live for the living
Let the dead bury the dead.
I would not change one bitter
word said in anger; or erase one
line of hate sent my way..
For, I no longer can feel the pain.
Life makes no promise the sun
will always shine in a day;
that every word spoken will be kind;
That the ending of life will be better
than the beginning of ones life.
You are each grown now-smile.....
You make the choices......You pay
the prices.
Love never turns to hate-love linger
waiting to be recognized.
Tho it may never be in this lifetime.
