[hometext] => This is not based on my life for I am truly blessed and have a loving family. However, I have watched others struggle with certain demons in life and this poem is based more on those observations.
[bodytext] => It was so many years ago I walked out that front door. I know it caused your tears to flow Like so many times before. And when that door had quietly shut I knew I was not coming back. The pain I’d caused had deeply cut Because of the courage I lacked. I think about you every day And still see your beautiful face. When I close my eyes and quietly pray Thoughts of you time can’t ever erase. I sometimes wonder if you still cry Or am I not at all on your mind? Each day I feel like I could die I have missed you all of this time. I’m so very sorry you’re all alone But I knew I could no longer stay. It’s been so hard not to telephone Because I’ve ached for you every day. There are demons I must overcome And they still have a stronghold on me. I tell myself I’m awfully dumb For not fighting to have victory. But maybe the day will finally arrive When my trials are all in the past. And I will no longer have to strive I will have won my battle at last. Yet how will I ever really rejoice When I finally count what it cost? And clearly see what was my choice The one I loved most is now lost. Caroline T.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
