Someday

Someday

When again your world comes crashing down
I will weep without a sound

When you are locked away a huge part of me is right there with you

How many more times will it take to get that the easy way to success
Is almost always the wrong way and cannot be kept

Exactly what does success mean for you
If it is merely monetary as it seems 
Your world will continue to crash

How many times can a mother’s heart crash and not break


                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Angelo’s mom

Thank your for your words of hope and wisdom, as the silent tears continue to flow, jill

Ian Jones Date: 8/19/2015 5:49:00 AM Painful write. Expresses the frustration of not being able to get through. One of my quotes is, If you measure life in terms of money you will always be short changed. Sound value systems take away the veils of success. Kind regards, Ian Login to Reply Jill Spagnola Date: 8/19/2015 6:04:00 AM Yes Ian ghastly painful, my hands are so tied. Thank you for your kindness and perception, jill
