I won second place in a blog competition over at toughgirl101 this past week for my Thanksgiving post. Now I am entering another one at Perky's blog. I have a choice of whether I could continue on in life as immortal or whether there was one point in my life that I would change if I could. Well here goes my answer.
What would I change if I could?
During the course of my life there have been many ups and downs. The sun has shined brightly upon me, and I have traveled in the shadows of fear. Under no circumstances have I ever taken anything for granted. Life has always been something that I hold dear. Being aware that the only thing certain in life is death, I have tried treat everyone that I meet with love, respect and honesty. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring has always led me to cherish every moment that God has granted me on earth. So when it comes to what moment in my life that I would change, it would have to be the day that the love of my life, fell out of love with me.
Today, there is still no answer in my heart as to what happened. My heart will never be the same without her. Traveling back in time to change the outcome would only give me one choice to consider. That would be for God to give her the ability to see inside of my heart.
If she could only see the light
In my heart when I saw her face
If she could only feel the comfort
That she gave me day to day
If she could only see the tear drops
That my heart would shed for her
If she could only see my heart stop
Each time she said a word
If she could only see the passion
I tried so hard to let her see
The strength of a mighty ocean
She set inside of me
If she could only understand
The words I try to say
If she could only take my hand
And never go astray
This wish would be my heaven
This wish would heal my soul
This wish would stop the bleeding
This wish would make me whole

This is straight from your heart, I know. I envy your courage and your strength! Some wounds never heal, but leave us stronger nonetheless! You are stronger, and you are good. <3
Oh that is an amazing post. I think everything happens for a reason and one day you will see that too. I think you will take another path and you will see that there is a reason why this has happened. I think you are a strong person and can express yourself so well. Its a great post and I hope you do well in the contest. Congrats on coming second. Keep writing. From personal experience it can help mend a broken heart. Time helps.
I feel so bad for you and hope one day you have have joy in your heart again. Your poem is very touching.
This is so wonderful.
I'm never speechless. Duh, I'm a writer, but that left me speechless.
Very well written dude! I could feel and heart your heartbeat. If Perky doesn't give you a prize, I will mogok.....
Life can be very cruel even to the best of us and none of us have the power to see what the future holds. Each day we wake up and from minute to minute our life changes - we are like flowers that gently unfold in the sunshine.
Sometimes extraordinary events and opportunities come our way and usually this happens when we least expect it. I hope that things turn around for you soon and that unexpected smile lights up your life and you can share something wonderful once more.
Wow, that was beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if you win the contest.
Everything in life happens for a reason. We all have that one love that leaves us empty. But, there will be someone else that is meant to be that will make you whole again.
