The sands of time drift effortlessly across the desert of my life. Each grain an experience gained with both success and strife. Many paths with heavy footsteps trod this journey has been long. And yet perceived a horizon still with purpose I travelled on. Though the years have swiftly passed I still recall my childhood. As brothers we would mischief find where and when we could. The fears of retribution for our deeds were never entertained. Learning from mistakes we made through punishment and pain. Quickly did we grow for encroaching manhood had begun. With family and friends along the way we cherished every one. Until at last alone I stood to face my final years in fear. Had my life been all in vain as loneliness turned to tears. I stood before a dark foreboding chasm of uncertainty. Knowing of my selfish deeds no God would show me pity. Awaiting that one step into oblivion the will to live removed. For then my soul was lifted unseeing hands from death delivered. Horizons faded sky’s once darkened with sadness cleared anew. I had found what foolishly nearly lost her love for me was true.

About this poem:
Yesterday I thought I had lost her but I was a fool to doubt her love for me.
I just wanna come and give you big hugs again, my bro...>_<//

Great writing Grandad. Isn't poetry the most cathartic medium ever for expressing our emotions?
All's well that ends well......

What can I say grandad, a full life lived, revealed with beauty and honesty in a poem. You know how I feel about you and the tender and sincere way your mind is working. Along with your "clucking" laughters you are just such a person, that once captured a heart you endow it with wings, enabling it to stir up the air around you, keeping your attention.
Sometimes emoticons just do not fit, this is one of those times.
you have a soft romantic heart grandad, it's hard for those who love and believe yet the rewards are great, greater than for those who live in suspicion and constant regret for being too wary. thanks for sharing this lovely write

No words I write could convey to all you lovely people how I really feel. One minute I was lost then her love showed me the path I will follow for the rest of my life. TY one and all for giving me the opportunity, through you encouragement, to try and explain how 'real love' has changed my life.
