IF I COULD


If I Could 

If I could stop one Heart from breaking 
And let them know they are going to  
Be OK I would , 
I would do what I could to make that  
One not ever give up on life , 
I shall not live in vain and I shell not  
Live in pain of a nasty past of darkness, 
I will write down all my cuts on pain  
And give back to the one that gave  
And clean off my slate and walk away, 
The darkness don't hold me no more  
I walk out of that door . 
Now I walk in love of the  light and 
I live my life right , 
I had to change me before my life could 
Ever be clear enough to see my path right, 
So if I could make every thing right for the 
Name of love no more push and shove .  
I will write a book and say there is away out 
You are not alone . 
If I can ease one Life and help them to see a better 
Path to take I will lead the way , 
I would teach them to love the higher power  
And teach them to love them self , 
And show them the right door to open and the 
Other one to close , 
But this is something one must learn from life's pains 
And disasters , Its life and death we all have it , 
I would love to help one shut one door  
And help one open it if I could I would . 
Life is something we all have to live and turn the next 
Page and move on , 
Only you can change you from the wrong way to live life . 
I shall not live in Vain but let love in with out shame and blame 
Life is not a game .

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
