My Life As It Is

As my tears flow
I see my past
And I know
There are things I shouldn't have

I've asked for my father 
And asked for love 
I've asked for my mother
And for God above

Although no one hears  me
And no one seems to care
All my memories
Seem to disappear

So I just smile 
And see what life gives
I'll sit hear for awhile
And go on as it is

aww this is sad but a great write, the Lord always answers us in his time, it may seem a long time but he does reply, my husband wanted a family so much it took him 21 years before he found me, for me it took 29 years to be totaly healed from my pain from my youth, hang in there, keep on asking it isn't wrong, because our Lord promises ask and it shall be given to you, knock and he will open the door, seek and you will find, all good things come to those that wait, God bless you from diane
