I'M Starting Over

5:44 AM  22 oct 2014


Starting over in my second half
Trying to make better and leave behind my past

It is not easy with children involved
Even though they are almost grown and not small

They have their lives ahead 
If they need me I am still dad

I can not live just waiting in a box
Just waiting to be  taken out to clear life's rocks

Getting stiff and gathering dust 
Eyes growing dim mind filling with rust

I must move on and renew my life
I must be productive and shine my light

I love you girls with all my heart 
But I need this fresh new start

I can not do it in this town
Too many bad memories to keep me down

I hope that you can understand
And not spend your life hating this old man

I am just a phone call away
And I will come back to visit and stay a few days

I fell in love the days you two were born
I will love you forever though my heart is torn

Even though they are our children we love them and we try to support them as much as we can but sometimes we need to keep our mouth shut and move on :) eve Eve Roper October 22, 2014 at 7:23 PM lessons I have learned with my 3 sons :) love & hugs eve Jasonpoet Boyd October 22, 2014 at 7:19 PM Moving on I am but easy it is not.
