Today is your birthday
but you aren't here
then maybe it isn't
but for me it is.

How I still seek you--
you phantom somewhere--
and how I'll keep
seeking
until I'm not here.

You were born this day
you were born to give
to me you gave so much
you, my perfect crutch.

Today's your birthday
but you aren't here
At least, I don't see you
but maybe you are near.

Randall, this is beautiful and sad. Maybe the person that you write for is remembering you, nearer to your heart than you might think. Janet xoxoxoxo

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri

Black Ash & Green (Sessions with my Therapist) by Pearl Barley C M Donaldson

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
