John Loving Iii Poet I do not know?

Goin For Broke

i'd go broke
just to see you smile
empty my tank 
driving you around
borrow money from friends and family
not pay bills and put off fixing things
but you were worth it
every penny every dime
i'd pay anything
for just a little more time
there's nothing in this world
i would'nt give to get you back
but give you to a better place ?
Yes! i'm happy about that
you went to heaven 
leaving my behind
i may not look happy 
but i'm happy deep inside
one day i'll pay death my life
and i'll see you again
but untill he's ready to bargin
i'll just keep remembering

Constance La France September 25, 2010 at 12:42 PM I know this pain well, John, my husband left one day for work in a snow storm and never returned, so I know exactly how you are feeling, and you will remember your love each day, but deep inside you will also find incredible strength, and I think I am seeing some of that right now in your poetry~~

I can understand how you would give anything just to have more time with her, but she loved you and would want you to make the most of your future. I have been praying for you, dear friend.
