Shadows In The Dark/A Poem

Shadows In The Dark

Just chasing shadows in the dark

Eyes wide open with a wounded heart

Wondering why I sit here alone

No one visits or calls on the phone

So when am I going to get it right?

How long can I keep up this fight?

Just when I think things are under control

I look down and step in another deep hole.

Then when I think I'll give up and die

God gives me the strength and says son don't ask

why!

I get on my knees and say thank you dear Lord

But I'm not very sure how much I can afford.

He tells me that His gift is free

And things will be just fine, just wait and see.

Then he said " Remember all those shadows you

see? "

Always know that those shadows are me!

Well, in that case I’m glad you can

report she’s your “ex” girlfriend. Not very

supportive. It is apparent that your words come from your heart and that’s

what makes them special. Enough to touch other hearts as

well. –dz-

Sharon,

Thank you so much for the complkiment Sharon.

I never really thought my poetry was anything special to be quite honest.

Everything I write comes from my life and my heart. My ex-girlfriend (whose

name was also Sharon, by the

way) told me my poetry was stupid and it sucked so I quit writing. Now

that she's gone. I have some lost time to make up for but I hope I don't bug

anyone with it because after all, it is speciak to me! Thanks again for the

kind words!

Your friend,

Randy

Randy, hang in there. I know what it’s

like to be that lonely. I moved here with my wife and son and after she left me

and moved away with my son, I went on a 2 year drunk. I had a few friends and a

new girlfriend. We both quit drinking when we found she was in mortal danger

with liver cirrhosis. Little did I know then what a favor I was doing myself (I

did not know I had hepc then). My drinking “buddies”

stopped coming around when they found I had no beer in the fridge and my

girlfriend started drinking again and ended up dying just short months after

she did. I was completely alone. I found solace in the AA and NA rooms and

ended up meeting my wife there. Looks only go so far, I’ve found once I

get to know somebody I don’t really think of them in that way. I see them

for who they are, and that’s where beauty really comes from. I’ll

be praying for you and the further results of your testing. –dz-

My son will be coming in July, we’ll have a couple of weeks together to do some

camping and fishing. I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t seen him

since last July. –dz-

Randy even thoguh non of us are with you physically

when you have more tests we are there spirtually..I know that seems like

nothing but we do mean well... There is a special someone out there for

you...You will find her..Until then we are here with our thoughts of you and

your time of need..I went for my MRI today on my neck..It hurt me more when

they finished than it did before I went in.My headache is worse too..It sure

is hot today..How is everyone doing?? Dave will you egt to spend time with

your son this summer?? I hope so..My son is trying to get a job where his dad

lives shoveling horse crap!! Now that's a stinky job..I'm suppose to find out

today if he gets it or not..I hope he does but then I don't..That part of me

is being selfish..I'm gonna miss him..He said don't worry Mom I'm going back

before school starts..I guess being without him for so long scares me...Well

I've blabbed enough!!
