I climbed a wall so tall that was built of deceit for many years,<\/span><\/p>\n

Too many agents of distrust conspired to fuel my many fears,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I searched for a friendly face I found they designed the wall,<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my Lord what have I done in blindness to bring my own fall,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I went to sleep but a year ago to find an old man returning my stare,<\/span><\/p>\n

So startled I was to find this image of me with white silver hair,<\/span><\/p>\n

Come and see me if you must but a label or warning must be said,<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll think I’m insane when I tell you of the life I remember in my head,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have dreamed of angels, war, deceit, children, grandchildren and more,<\/span><\/p>\n

So many things happened to me it’s unbelievable, especially the war,<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me show you the photograph that is my only piece of gold,<\/span><\/p>\n

So many nights I slept with my treasured photo tightly in my hold,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My tale of life will tell a tale of love with never a bad word spoken of her,<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Angels have failings you wonder?\u00a0 I have no ill words of her to offer,<\/span><\/p>\n

A bullet once pierced my heart because of her yet without her I die,<\/span><\/p>\n

I endured a world so lonely during war that yes, I’d break down and cry,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without a penny to my name and so weary of war I endured protester’s rant,<\/span><\/p>\n

Dressed in uniform a church member answered my request for a ride with I can’t,<\/span><\/p>\n

Was it an angel of mercy that took a weary damaged soldier home that night,<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe it to be true as I walked and prayed to God I held her picture tight,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My life is poetry in verse and placed upon a website for all to read,<\/span><\/p>\n

It is written for her, I want all the world to know she fulfilled every need,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve had too many miracles to write of but I will attempt to do so soon,<\/span><\/p>\n

Each and everyone is interlaced in her, her prayers avoided doom,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another burden had come to bear and with her I will endure,<\/span><\/p>\n

Too many times I’ve been told of death with no possible cure,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet darkness seems to scare me more so I pray she will lead the way,<\/span><\/p>\n

And someday in darkness she will guide me on my parting day.<\/span><\/p>\n
