Somedays... I'd like to run away, Go to a very ...secret place; Just take me------ myself alone, Where no one knows...my face.
I will walk down unfamiliar streets, Gaze upon strangers...that I meet; But, who will smile and call out my name? Who will say...I'm glad you came?
Who will knock on my front door; A grandchild's face...that I adore? No...for I left that far behind... Searching for my peace of mind.
And as I search down deep inside, Seeing things...I can't abide; I'll try to see me...as I am, And wonder if...I give a damn.
For...I left everything behind, But deep inside...what do I find? I ran away...but I am not free; I did not escape...from me !
When my beloved sister was dying of non-Hodgskins Lymphoma, these were some of her thoughts and fears. She wanted to just disappear from all of the hurt and pain in her body and her children and grandchildrens faces..God knows how much I love and miss you Lauretha, I will see you soon in Heaven...Kathie
such sad but beautiful thoughts Kathie, you made them into this wonderful poem that serves as a tribute to the pain and suffering she must have endured, I know you will be together again one day :)
A lovely tribute to a sister and friend. It was good you were close enough to share her thoughts and fears that you share with us now. Well done. She has a smile on her face as she looks down and waits the joining of you two again.
