Im the One

I’m The One
“I’m the one always there to listen, always there to help, always there to give advice,
and always there to give you a shoulder to cry on.
I’m the one always watching you make the same mistake over and over again, always watching
you cry over what he has done; and I’m always the one watching as you let him crawl back
into your life, as to think you couldn’t do any better.
I’m the one setting in the shadow wandering how you can be so blind. Setting here ready to
give you all the love and respect that he wouldn’t. Setting here wishing you would look
into my eyes and understand that love is so much closer than you think.
I’m the one that will be here when all is said and done, the one that will wait as long as
it takes.”

Cold Harsh Wind

“I feel the cold harsh wind against my skin as I look into the abandoned darkness of my
past. The memories have become more of a haze, for I have tried to forget them. As I deal
with the pain and heartache of my troubled past I begin to try and imagine what I might
have to help me keep going. I look at the tiny figure of a body that I have been rocking
oh so gently in my arms, I realize my son has given me if nothing else, an extraordinary
gift of responsibility that requires so much love, attention, and hard work. As I hold him
in my arms I feel the pain begin to disappear. I begin learned that pain of the past can
do nothing but tarnish the wonders and miracles of today and tomorrow.”

My One and True Miracle

"When i look into her eyes i see my future, i see all the things i have ever dreamed of. i
see a hope for tomorrow and a celebration of the things not yet accomplished.

When i hear her voice my heart tells me she is the one. it reassures my belief that
everyone has a purpose in life.it reminds me that all my heart aches, troubles, and dead
end roads have led me to this one true miracle.

When i hold her in my arms everything dissapears, the only thing that exist is her, me and
the one moment of perfection. she is now and forever the essence of my life and without
her in it my life would no longer be worth living."
