Keeping My Blinders On

4:33 PM 29 Nov 2014 Walking through the night with my blinders on Haunted by the memories of an old country song The chains of the past finally wearing thin and breaking off The dawn ahead in my tunnel vision warm and soft Invites me to the future where there is the land of the free Gotta keep these blinders fastened tight so I can see what will be The anchor in my heart so heavy tearing it in two I can not turn back though my heart be torn through The pain so hard to bear Pain that know one can share But when I reach that beautiful land On my two feet I will stand I will stand strong without the chains I will stand tall without the pain I will overcome this life and Live!

Moving on with life is hard to do when there are children involved but they have their lives and I can't just sit around waiting for them to take me out of the tool box when they need me. I am happy that you enjoy my writing thank you
