wow...you need to write a book about these things...

Did you really write these poems? If so you should put them together in a book or something you really do have a talent!

That was excellant and I am glad you survived that for your family. You write so well, and it's sad to see someone have to go through so much.

Yeah all my good friends tell me to write a book .. or contact oprah. I did write all these .. when I was in high school I did have some of my stuff published in a young authors book. I have always loved writting ... and life has always given me way to much to write about. Unfortunetly .. if I were to write a book it would read like a very very sad one ... might be a good movie for lifetime.

I have to admit thru all the struggles and the pain .. in my heart compassionate and loving I always stayed.

I have written a lot of sad stuff, too. I wonder where that comes from?

This is so graphic. Very good.

Wow that is scarily sad.

And yet sadly true ..
I was in a bad accident on October 4th 2004.

This is exactly what my first thought was ..this is the end.. . then I began to pray for my kids.
It is very scary to think when faced with death .. I just knew I was going to die. However there was this peace too .. this calm. I just wanted assurance that the ones I truly love in my life were going to be alright. I did not care about myself ... I just wanted a promise that they would be ok. I wanted to feel some assurance that they would always be together and never seperated and that they would grow up surrounded by love.
It may be sad ... but it is ..sadly true.
I still have physical problems from this ... but I think emotionally and spiritually it has made me stronger... because now I know when faced with death there is no fear .. and that the important things .. I still held close to my heart :)
Some spiritual people in my life tell me god kept me here only because I was willing to sacrifice myself .. if I knew they would be alright. They say god has a plan for me and he wanted me here but he wanted me to know death .. could always be near.
So take each and everyday as if when tomorrow comes your going to have passed away. Don't do anything you will regret ... and represent yourself in a way you would want to be remembered and that your family and friends can remember you with honor :)

The first week of October is always hard for me ..

Dena,

Would you like to join Poetry Salon. If you would like to, let me know. I would like you to post your poem there. Nicely done. Carole

Dena, you do need to put these in book form. You are truly gifted!

Dena, I've been there and can empathize. Surviving is a cool gift.

Dena, out of its being hard - you have crafted something very moving! Good work!
