Magic potion...
An old house with lots of history, stained glass and fireplace
Wooden floors, pressed ceilings, bay windows and a lot of space
This charming home was never mine the others were lost too
It’s never long enough to put down roots before I need to move
A slender dog with big brown loving eyes, my grey Jinxy cat
My Coco and Nicademus, gone! Isn’t it funny that?
I can never keep them long enough to show how much I care
I’ve missed these lovely creatures, It’s hardly even fair
My two children, boy and girl, my two bright shining stars
I couldn’t keep you in my house; I will always bare the scars
I wanted your true happiness more than life itself
I left you with my relatives for your stability and health
My friends and my ex-lovers, you meant so much to me
If it didn’t work out, then I guess; it was not meant to be
I’ve hurt to leave each one of you, It’s hard to just move on
Disappointments are inevitable, you just weren’t the one
For all the things I’ve lost in life and all the things I’ll lose
They are only borrowed to me for a time, even when I choose
To keep something forever, or fall in love again
I’ll savor every moment, ‘cause I just don’t know when;
It could all fall apart, or be snatched away from me
The only constant thing is change, time is only motion,
To keep true love and happiness; there is no magic potion!

About this poem:
All that I have is not truly mine... We all live on borrowed time!
Feeling the struggles of life and the pain of loss. For those that have loved and lost too, my heart goes out to you.

I wanted your true happiness more than life itself I left you with my relatives for your stability and health. Sometimes love recognizes that it, alone, is not enough to weather the storms of life. It takes great courage to make what one thinks is the right choice for one's children, knowing one will always bare the scars. Fortunately, even though there is no magic potion, through hard work, one can break down scars and reclaim life with its full range of motion. Thanks for sharing.
it is buried way down inside,
within your sorrow and pain,
a light glows out for all to see.
Empty spaces, empty promises,
These are pieces of the past,
making miracles,taking chances,
Is only now in your hands. . .
Need I, Ancient Bullman say more?
this just came to me,
but i give it you as my gift,
for it was born of inspiration,
to you as owner I call. . .
welcome to this beautiful corner of cs, the most precious people come here, its nice to see another SA woman
"Hero"
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

A poignant write with a good deal of truth about it. Resigned truth I know...but there is no magic potion. But we do all work on it. Thanks for sharing.
