Melanie Melanie Melanie

Melanie, Melanie, Melanie. My Dear, sweet, troubled … beautiful Child, what is it ?, I wonder ?, drives you so wild. Where from ?, does come, all your pain, pain making you like a runaway train, upon tracks leading to self-destruction ! How to stop you ?, I have no instruction ! Does it come ?, some ?, from what I am not, what I cannot give ?, what I have not got ? For you to be alive, to help you survive, To help you derive, to help you revive the soul, the spirit of the Girl I know, my Daughter, life forces I’d love to show. Show a much better path upon which to go, find fields, rich, beneficial seeds of, to sow many of life’s experiences bringing you gladness, times filled with much pleasure, joy and happiness while all else slips into darkness, fades into an emptiness that no longer consumes you, issues you may now address.

Good day Jan Allison : How true Jan, “ No fun them growing up and having to learn the hard way ”, unfortunate so many of us, who come from dysfunctional / broken home, even good loving ones, do so. “ - i have to bite my tongue sometimes and not say 'told you so' ” As parents / teachers / guides and mentors, we do the best we are able to, - within the confines our nature and nurturing – and with strength, try to get past the worst of it, try and change what was inappropriate so the next generation lessens the weight of the former ones . Thank you Jan Allison, for your kind comment and feeling “. big hugs for a wonderful write from the heart. Jan x ” , big hugs and kisses coming back to you . B. J. “A” 2 ( Bill . )
