Live For Tomorrow

Her writes are touching
They bring tears to your eyes
You can sense her fears
From the woman inside

Through the eyes of another
Saying " the time has come "
To begin the climb
Towards the sun

The other side
Under the moonlit sky
Suicide, feelings of 
The questions, why?

Please forgive me
Today's the day  
I'm finally free
No looking back for me, as I pray

It's now or never
Please remember me 
My hidden thoughts
Will set me free

I have a dream
So far away
I believe it's time
Don't cry when you say 
Goodbye


   I wonder, I remember
   Life is to short
   On reflection
   The above I abort
  
   On the wings of an angel
   I will travel one day
   But until that time
   This lost soul will stay

   Dear Lord
   Is there a heaven?
   A little precious angel says
   My family, love and faith
   Will see me through my days



Having read a poets poems yesterday, i wrote this using the titles 
                        to her sad, but heartfelt pieces

              ~ ~ And the ladies name is Colleen Bono ~ ~

Also emotionally moving and relevant for many who struggle in this way. Sometimes our words hold healing properties. I feel this is one such example. Well done.

Yet again I had to read.I am struggling right now to keep it together.Sat.I had to have my dog put to sleep.I got him when he was 3 days old and raised him.He was only 4 but had health problems that couldn't be fixed.I am trying to write a poem for him but it hasn't came to me yet.Hope all is well with you.
