The Life You Want .. Or The Life You Have???

Sometimes we are guilty of the "Society Card". Blaming our "Life Card" on everyone or everything else other then our own walks and paths we have choosen in our lifetime. I myself am true to this guilty pleasure. But as I have become older and wiser and painfully obvious of the past mistakes that " I" alone have made. These decisions have become harder to not only make but choose. We "Say" we want one life. But we state we were "Given" another. By either what we "Were" or "Were Not"given to us by our family. Or sometimes by physical genetics or birth defects from maybe an abusive/ drug/alcoholic parent which sometimes makes the journey almost impossible to reach our dreams. The " Key" word there was " Almost".. So let us realize this.. The Life You WANT is up to YOU to be the LIFE you HAVE!!! You HOLD THE KEY!

A Chance

Sometimes when I'm all alone
I close my eyes and dream
Remember back years ago
When life was what it seemed

I was young without experience
And loved life with all my might
Made mistakes and wrong choices
But always gave up a fight

Now I'm older and wiser too
And see the things I've done
My scars run deep within my soul
For the loss of my only son

O how I wish for another chance
To turn back the hands of time
To have my baby boy once again
And know that he is only mine

But life goes forward without regret
And chances are few and far apart
Choices were made and pain was dealt
As I carry it still in my heart

All I can do from today forward
Is to wait for my destiny to call
Hope and pray for one day for us to meet
Before the reaper falls

I have poems, songs and letters
From the very last day with you
Reminding my heart your still alive
And keeping my faith still true

Someday again I'll see your eyes
And know that you are real
Tell you everything I have ever done
Then finally our hearts can start to heal
