Thank you both. It is always a little hard to put your writings out there for people to read and judge.

Itʼs been some time since I moved out I still hear the echoes of when weʼd shout I guess I never though it would end this way I still think back to our hopes and dreams Nothing is as what it seems I guess thereʼs really nothing more to say Its been some time but as hard as I try I still cry I long for the times when weʼd embrace Just once more to touch your face I never wanted to really say goodbye Where are my childrenʼs laughter and voices? How could I have made such poor choices? Now Iʼm left to constantly wonder why. The hurt goes on and as hard as I try I still cry But the strength in me knows itʼs time To say goodbye and begin the climb To another and yet different life ahead Godʼs love will carry me on Heʼll show me the way from hereon Itʼs through His guidance that I am led. A smile breaks though the tears from my eyes I still cry RJE

The walk seems longer today Each step I take is one farther away… from you Strange how things happened this way On my journey to the view Sunset brighter Water calm, cliffs seem higher The ocean seems reborn and anew I know now that God is with me Gave shelter from the storm that hit me Led me here to this amazing view The salt air fills my lungs Provides the ladder and the rungs To climb higher away from you It’s the future that drives me forward now Slowly learning that someway how My life will come to match the view And as I leave this place I know The history we shared the loved that flowed Will be cherished in my heart and always stand true I can now look back with a smile Knowing that loving you was all worthwhile It’s in my heart that I hold the sacred view RJE
