Hearts Filled With Love

When I was about four, my parents liked to drink so the kids had to all be taken away Along with my sister we went to a new home hoping we would be there to stay After a year we were split up this burden was the farthest thing from fun When it came to having enough love for two children they seemed to only have enough love for one Off to a new home I was sent without my dear sister who was always right by my side For a five year old child this can be pretty tuff but all I could do was learn to take it all in stride To Loose your parents with your sister and brothers is quite the heartache at a young age to take Thinking she would always come back to get me was a thought my mind couldn't seem to shake She never came back as the years rolled by Leaving me wonders that wouldn't escape my mind Knowing you have brothers and a sister in the world with loving hearts that you may never ever find Loosing my loved ones at such young age I have dealt with for most of my life With the only love now I have left to loose is the love of my forever loving wife Dan Kearley:9-7-11

As the saying goes 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'....I identified with your write, read my "Painstaking Views" it's along the same lines. Did you ever reunite with your siblings? Take care xo

The knees, they will buckle when life starts to suckle the marrow right out of our youth. It leaves you not knowing if your coming or going. When your left all alone in the booth.
