For Diane

For Diane You are young and so alive I am old but the fire's still alive We come from places far apart And still we connected at the heart I have fought the fight you face it takes place in a frightening place Your troubles lie within your past and time moves ever so fast Slow down time and remember who you really are you're not the person they say you are Not the one who's lost control or the one who will never be whole you are a person with a loving soul Life is gift most take for granted it's true your past life can't be recanted It happened as you remember it all the pain and all the **** but you can stop living in it You can go on now just by learning how to forgive and live a life not free of trouble or free of strife or yearning but ever still a rewarding life. Know that you can do it I will help if you ask and get right to it. But for now I love you and pray for your recovery and I know you can do it As I fought and so far have won you can do so as well and free yourself from your living hell Long after I have passed and left this place I will have left remembering your smiling face It is the joy of my life to know you will go on that smile tells me we have won a temporary victory it will always be as you will learn and I truly believe - one day at time is the key. I love you and I know you love me.
