Just trying to get rid of my blues okay!!
Pink walked in and blue moved out!!
Blue returned and Pink learns to cope!!


Today marked the day my little girl was born ...but she died at the age of six....more than 20 years ago!!

My Search For Tranquility

I need peace in my life
My heart yearn for some tranquility
As I walk this dirt road
It vibrates in my chest
I am walking faster… and faster
I am highly upset
Emotions runs high
I feel like running away
Away from every damn thing around me
I feel like crying but I can’t
I am completely flipped out
I can’t even think straight anymore
My back and my muscles are so tight
My whole system yearns for… some tranquility
I run to the nearest quiet place
Three miles… or even more from home
I have no damn clue… I just need to… get out
To search for tranquility
I am losing my grip
I am losing my touch
I am losing control
I shed a tear… my hands embrace my face
O’ Lord above let me have some peace
Peace in my mind…peace within my heart
I need tranquility in my life
But the chances are slim…
My search brought me back
To you!!

A sad read but so beautiful. My heart goes out to you. There are some wounds that even time can't heal and the lose of a child is one of them. But faith will help to ease the pain. Bless you my friend. Pamela

Tinka, no mother should ever have to lose her child. No consolment can take away the pain. Just know that God loves you and she lives on in heaven, someday to be with her loving mother again. I am sure she wants for your happiness and tranquility... Hugs

Tinka,

No matter how many years go by, you can't get rid of the hurt that still resides in your heart. I know; it has been nearly 16 years since my mom left, and I still miss her now today. But it is worse when a child dies, as in the case of your little girl. How I wish I could remove some of the heartache, and how I wish that God could bring her back to life and bring her back to you! That would be awesome; but God had His Reasons for taking her to Heaven; and you can rest in the fact that you and your little girl will be reunited in Glory. That is a promise, and one day, when you see the Lord, the answers you had hear on earth will be revealed to you. You may not understand, but He DOES, and He KNOWS of the pains and hurts you have. That is when you cry out to Him for strength and mercy, and He loves you too much, Tinka, to EVER want to think of EVER hurting you. He will NEVER, EVER leave you, and THAT is written clearly in the Word.

Beautiful, peaceful write; very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :( >tears <

On a happier note, thanks for the update on Felix; sounds encouraging! :) Will drop him a message; thanks for his email addy! :)

The Good Lord is our Comforter and Joy Tinks !
What we have lost we will retrieve in Heaven one day, one hundred fold !
I hope Felix makes a full and rapid recovery from illness !
I think I have walked that path in the pic !

The quiet places are truly the best - I need to run to one, too, Tinky. Think Pink... and Good Luck.

Seems you are always riding on the old merry-go-round of pain and anguish.
