Truth

It was the end of the job a big do for everyone concerned they who were invited We were the last standing on the site today was our last day working got a big lump of money with a fat bonus thrown in for my loyalty It was held in the city center food and everything was laid on Stayed for a while had four beers ate loads of the best beef stuffed myself I had just worked twelve hours really felt very tired after a long day hailed a taxi as one always done when paid felt a lot safer as my brother was mugged three times in the underground ubhann I was done once dumped for dead jumped in the car just fell asleep exhausted next thing I remember him wakening me up shaking me quite hard done this trip hundreds of times Always landing at my door looking around not the strangest sights that meet my eyes he says I am home Almost having a heart attack he demands money for the fare I have not a clue were here is taking me then he starts grabbing for me saying if I do not get out he will get the police so I got out he tried to run over me could hear the sirens in the distance so I ran just because I was illegal in the country at the time now they are trying to do me nearly twenty years later on micky mouse charges brought up against me this is the only story I know he never dropped me home so I never paid him plain and simple in my eyes this is my sworn word in testimony if not in this life I will be smiling if you reach the gates have you felt the pain and suffering this has put my family through no one ever has luck in dis honesty

Wow, what an ordeal, Liam! I can't imagine what that must have been like - I can see your heart and compassion when you say "I will be smiling if you reach the gates". There are many "Christians" that still wish misfortune on others that have done wrong, yet are unaware of the grace that saved them from their own wrong deeds. Dishonesty, as you say, is nothing solid that we can stand on.

Dear Liam, why must people bring such pain upon innocent people? I wish you had been spared that horrible time in your life. I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I guess without pain there would be no compassion....that's one way of looking at it. May God embrace you in the warmth of His love everyday and enfold you in His love. I will be praying that justice shall be served and that you will be free like you deserve. Keep the faith and let this make you stronger. May the angels protect you, guide you and keep you safe always. Love and hugs...D xxxxx

Liam My Mate!! This one says so much and with the truth comes the sadness and pain. Sometimes, life can be not so beautiful. But here's to better times always now and in the future!! I think the Leprechaun Choir would prefer to sing that positive song. Best Always, Gary

Some things happen in life at times..We wish and want them to be different,but its what they are. I only know one thing,if We dont have sad moments,we wont appreciate the beautiful ones. I do believe our life is filled with ups and downs,and through every chapwter in our life,God wants to tell us something Liam.Difficult momoments will give us strength to become better people..So try to see the good side of the coin even though it must be hard.deep poem with heartfelt emotions.
