Sherry

Glad you are on the road to recovery.  Wrote this for you, well except for the last part, think King David may have written that.

There flows an ocean

Of mixed emotion

Tossed about like waves

 

When dreams fade and die

And love says good-bye

When life and love are tangled

 

Know This…

 

Not one step of your’s been wasted

So much more that you’ve not tasted

It’s just a part of a bigger plan

 

Although it hurts and causes pain

Not one tear has been in vain

He’s still there to lift you up

 

Me saco’ de la fosa de la muerte,

Del lado y del pantano:

Puso mis pies sobre una roca,

Y me planto’ en terreno firme.

Salmos 40:2

I don't know what to say. wow

whoa!!!!!

very moving. lots of feeling w/o being sappy.

what struck me was the signature-

D'0's gone by mine own choice. Personal issues. Sorry. Thanks, Bye.

what does this part mean? my own dark side makes me worry- cause a statement like that would not be a good one coming from me.

you know the depths and the heights of life. i hope you're not so deep that you have lost track of happy days in the sun.

You know, I never did file a report on myself, just never knew what to say. My life was so ADHDerated, and ADHDled, that nothing I could write would do it justice. So, I procrastinated in writing here. Until today, when I found an acceptable way that reflects a part of who I really am, regardless of what others tell others, or think, you know... This is me.


The Ballad of David’Ornado


In cold of snow, did she conceive?
In dark of night, the next day’s eve,
The David one, in pleasure pain.
Who’d touch the world, once, and again.

Young he was, child prodigy,
With greatest strength, and Energy!
Walk did not, but bounce and run...
For the World was made for fun!!!

Of this, and that, did he so care,
Find him here, and there, then, everywhere!
So many things, did he mind,
Of earth, mountain, and then, Mankind…

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held my heart bared, just for you,
At risk, to reach out, this you knew.

The Lord, he sure saw, he was not,
But with His blood, yes, was he bought.
A Godly man, with faith so true,
He fought the fight, and Jesus, knew.

Human love, did miss, his heart...
In this they failed, though tried their part.
Good looks, great eyes, they said he had,
Yet searched the years, our lonely lad.

For One with whom, he’d share his life,
The One he’d love, and call his wife.
The One for whom, his heart would pour,
The likes of earth, heaven! to tour…

Compassion boundless, passion knew,
He could love, ‘twas very true!
Find her did he, one summer night,
And for a time, they did alright.

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held my heart, bared just for you,
At risk, to reach out, this you knew.

With life’s long journey, labors, hard,
Souls, now seven, the lovers guard.
On pain of death, did struggles wreak,
An empty heart, that could not speak.

The dearest ones, too early flew
This earth, of lands, and skies, so blue.
On things they lost, their love grew dim,
From out of all, naught left, so grim…

So one forlorn more try was made,
With aim to please, and make the grade.
This too became, a painful loss,
Then his presence, was as dross.

Two decades plus, life pushed, then shoved.
It quenched their hope, and speared their love.
The door was shown, with tearful eye.
A bitter look; naught a goodbye?

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held, my heart, bared just for you,
At risk, to reach out, this you knew.

His heart did love, that maiden bright.
But days were hard, with fears at night,
Too, restless thoughts, might end it all,
When Healer came, and stopped the fall.

Anti-D’s, Ritalin, too
Did the trick, part of the brew.
Coaching skills, with coping mechs,
Prevented death, amongst ship wrecks…

Rejected, beaten, down he went.
Suffering greatly, strength all spent...
Abandoned now, lone lover knew,
His need: just one! To whom be true?

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held my heart bared, just, for you,
At risk, to reach out, this you knew.

Then one day, within his search,
He met a dear girl, near a church.
Befriended him, oh, yes! she did,
Did not treat him, like a kid.

As a flower, begins to bloom,
It adds a bright light, to a room.
Taught she did, new love to him,
And anew, life rose, again!

Saw in him, a brilliant mind,
Taught him art, beauty to find.
Encouraged did, his wit and prose,
Touched his heart, as life, arose!

Then this hope, it too was dashed,
Within The Storm, which boomed, and crashed...
Amongst the hurt, the fear, the pain,
Words were flung, like stinging rain...

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held my heart, bared just for you,
At risk, to reach out, this you knew.

The agony, pain, woe of grief,
Why did tales, become the thief?
The Storm did rage, Tornado wind,
It stilled their love, now so chagrined...

Cold did set, like winter chill,
Ice crystals formed, cov'ring the hill.
The tomb of love, now lay downcast,
As hope’s banner, hung at, half mast.

Why, oh, why, did I have hope?
Why, oh, why, did I have love?
I held my… heart... bared just for you,
At risk, to reach out, this, you knew.

Our hero, mortal, cried, and wept,
At the loss, of friends, thought kept...
But why no death wish, did he feel?
Because his heart, her love, did heal...

What was learned, in trials hard,
Insight lost, now gained this bard.
Despite their love, that was so brief,
It turned for him, a brand new leaf!

In loss ‘tis likely, right to gain,
True love indeed, despite his Name.
From lightest touch, of love, so bright!
New morning springs, out of, cold night...

With the warmth, of Son’s full ray,
Does David’o, stroll, through the day.
Depths, despair, no longer start,
As threats, to still, his beating heart.

Although alone in his new world,
A man, sinner, with hope unfurled.
Is able now, to find new love,
His heart, strengthened, from God, above…

Why, oh, why, do I have hope?!
Why, oh, why, do I have love?!
I’ll hold my heart out, just to you!
At risk, to reach for, love, anew...



Thanks to all of you who have accepted me as I am: just me…
And to those who cannot, or will not, my tears are shed… for likes of thee.
Ready or not, WORLD! Here, I COME!!!
