Well, I figure I will go back to sharing some of my older writing. It has been a long time since I posted anything from that time. The following is a poem written while I was in high school. It talks about the decision I made to go against my father in choosing who I dated. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time and make a different decision; that is a decision to keep that person in my life. I am thankful to have him back in my life now (and over the past several years). He is a dear friend!
love and pain
my heart yearns to be free
from all the pain I feel today
to love someone the way I do
is beautiful in every way
I feel your touch
I feel your stare
my love for you
is everywhere
candles burn bright
candles burn low
the love that's in my heart
will always glow
my heart yearns to be free
to make my own choice
my choice to be in love
or my choice to be in pain
that choice is you...

*Out of respect for him and his family, I will not post a picture to go with this poem. Thanks for stopping by!
