Egg Shells Don't be mad, I am right here. I have not left at all. I simply grew quiet, as I did not want to add... to your burdens, to your pains. I know that you hurt every day. I see "it" in the way you walk. I watch how you hunch over... at times. I pray for you, even though you do not believe. I pray for you, because you want, and you need someone too. Life makes you upset at the world. I am here to remind you of flowers, and birds, dogs with long tails, and cats with soft feet. I sing silently, as not to wake you from a nap. I sing to the Lord, and ask him to bring you... healing, and even more importantly, what you truly need. I have put... all my eggs in the basket. My great grandmother... she would be mad at me. I did not listen at all. Yet if "you" are gone, then there is no reason, I am here.
