Looking Back

I've been looking back into the years,
all I see are many tears.
Hoping soon I will see no more,
wondering just what am I here for.

I've been looking back trying
to remember when,who or what
made it all begin.Hoping it would all
go away,I'm looking forward to that day.

I've been looking back trying to figure out why,
all I can think about is wanting to die.
Very few things in life have been good,
The more I think,I think I should.

I've been looking back searching hard to find,
some love and understanding and a little peace of mind.

I've been looking back and realize it's time to let everyone know,
I am tired of looking back and it is time for me to go.

                           Colleen Marie Bono

Colleen, follow life and the living, be the Love that you are, always do the right thing, and forgive if you have ought agains any one. The feelings of destruction are from the illusionary self of the mind. Follow the 4 intentions of life, that I mention, they are from the heart, and are the instructions of your Saviour Love. Death is from the mind, life is from your Sacred Heart of God's love.Smile, Sincerely, Love, Moses
