LIKE ASHES IN THE WIND


Like ashes In The Wind 

I wish you were different,  
but I can see only God could 
Change you if you would let 
Him love you , 
I couldn’t change you if I try 
I am glancing in the dark and  
The truth never lies , 
My love for you is very strong  
And I will keep praying for you  
And hanging on , 
I see you got your ways another 
Time with all your nasty little lies  
That is no way to live life , 
I looked at him with tears in my eye's 
And I handed him a little box , 
And I said this is all I got to give , 
He look outside the box with a look 
I had never seen , 
Open your mind and let your heart in; 
I cant be your friend I'm much more 
Then that you see ! 
Its better to leave the Past and move on 
In life , And let love in , 
The pain you hold is like ashes in the wind 
The he cried and said ; 
What do you want from me ? 
You don’t understand 
I have come to far to lose again , 
That’s no longer who I am don't you see , 
Then I looked up at my son and said  
The past is gone and I hold on to my little  
Son from the time you was born and I cared 
You home ; 
With love that is so very strong ; 
This I am willing to do again ,  
Don't you see this mothers love was built in me ; 
This mothers love will never die , 
Then he looked at me and cried with love in his  
Eye's , As we walked home hand to hand .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
