Here is the trunk before me it waits I look at it with fear at times and sometimes it stares back Today I will go look and see what is held inside Dust off the top damn, where's the key miss placed somewhere where could it be there it is, I threw it away It once was to my heart and today it is found I wonder if it still works Let me go see Open the top hesitantly am I ready for this? Yes, today is the day that I will be set free So bright inside I never imagined that Look...right here on the top is the Bible you gave me so I would never be alone how quickly we forget sometimes You held my hand when I was first starting all this you were such a special friend and a special gift thank you And look at this... the vase you sent me from Spain when you missed me and loved me but, I was not ready yet Three years of my life I gave you it hurt so bad when it was over I never thought I could love like that but today we are now friends and I thank you for the journey And here...look here the shoes from when we went sailing when I spread my wings and set sail today I still fly you saw in me what I could be thank you for believing Wow... here's the note to me from when I went into hiding built walls to soul search reflect on past humbled to say the least but, you climbed the wall and brought me back I still laugh when I think of that thank you for your friendship And this... how I tried to love you and for you to love me here are the diamonds so bright they were never meant for me after all the pain and the tears somehow we have managed to be friends of sort sometimes you still hurt me with your words but inside I still live all I can do is look at you with compassion and say thank you for the lesson Awww... and this...oh my you have added to my collection of angels so bright for you are one of them so complimentary and kind the laughter we shared how I wish I could have seen me through your eyes I will always hold you close to my heart a space that you filled you are so beautiful thank you for for bringing me new life Oh my...look at this...look at this here is my check list one that I made many years ago no one would ever be able to fill this But here... you have managed to meet the list we have traveled the same roads lived the same life have the same dreams I look for answers they seem to have been given to me long ago brought back to life through photos and dreams and look you have the same list how strange this all seems for this I will empty the trunk |
