Hardest thing I've ever done



GUILT


It matters not what they say


You’ve done your best


But it doesn’t go away


Awake at night , it’s hard to rest


Oh God , have I done my best ?


The hardest thing I’ve ever done


Have I failed this awful test ?


Away from life I want to run .


Three years at home we did our best


Our love and prayers to no avail


Victims of life’s hardest test


Our faith so strong but yet we fail .


Spirit worn have I lost my will ?


All say I’ve tried so hard


Of Opinions I’ve had my fill


For it’s me whose lost my closest pard.


Now I place him in a home


My heart is broken , he is alone


This guilt is like an evil gnome


Crushing weight a heavy stone.

Sometimes circumstance leaves no other alternative, never feel guilty for doing what, in your heart and soul, you believe is right....

Be safe,
Karen

i am so sorry for the pain of this kind of decision as well as for the guilt a powerfully written poem
Reviewed by Sandie May Angel-Joyce 10/26/2007
Sometimes we have to do the best of what's right to do, even at the expense of opinions from those who don't understand the situations; but within your heart you know you have done your best, even with the guilt that others have set upon you.

What an emotional write this is! I can feel every word in this poem. Well-expressed indeed!!!
