Poem
For Diane You are young and so alive and I am old but with the fire still alive We come from places far apart and still we connected at the heart I have fought the fight you face it happens in a very frightening place Your troubles lie within your past and time moves ever so fast Slow down time - 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'll never be whole you are a very special person with a loving soul Life is a gift most take for granted and it's true your past life can't be recanted It happened as you remember it With all the pain and all the shit, but you can stop living in it You can go on by learning to forgive yourself and live a life not free of trouble, strife or yearning but ever still a rewarding life of love and learning I will help if you ask and I'll get right to it But for now I love you and pray for your recovery knowing full well that you can do it As I have fought and so far have won you can do so as well to free yourself from your personal hell Long after I have passed and left this place please know I left remembering your beautiful face It is the joy of my life to know when I am dead and gone that you will go on - doing for someone new what I have tried to do for you Your special smile tells me we have won Although a temporary victory it shall always be As you will learn and I truly believe "one day at a time" is the key. I love you and I know you love me.
