Life Through My Heart by Terrie*

i apologize,
i know i share more than i should,

i know no stranger in my life
i love people
i always need someone in my life

i am an open book to all i meet
i hide nothin'
yet i know nothin'

and yet i know deep inside i hide from my own-self
what hurts me the most
yet i have an appetite to grow and learn

God is my source,
my inspiration and my hope
sometimes i write in rhyme
sometimes i stay within my mind

over all i am a quiet
hard to imagine that
i love to laugh from deep within
until it hurts to laugh anymore

i love life ,i love, love ,i love deep,
i'm sincere as one cares and wants to be
yes that is me..
what more cain i say that i haven't said

i have a child like heart
i am about honesty
i don't like pain, i don't like tears

so please accept my sincere apology
didn't mean to come on too strong
or scare ya away
in all honesty i needed a friend

i try to keep the nightmares of the past
where they belong yet at times
i keep them in my life
to keep it balanced
to remind me that i was someone's wife

my job consists of helpin'
the ones whom need me the most
sometimes i want to give it up
sometimes i want to stay so close
not a place i wanted to be
but a place where God needs me

at times i feel good just sharin' my day
after a long day at work
i try my best
to take nothin' home

most of the times
when i am alone ..
i break down and feel myself fall
as i start to remember holdin' a hand
of a life fadin' away

you'll know
my heart is dyin'
if you ever catch me cryin'
i promise, i will get through

there you have it..
i am strong but yet sooo very weak...

Poetry has been my cure all
my quick fix ,my band aid
my passionate escape
my vision in someone else's eyes

the friend i cain hold
when i am all alone
my poetry has felt and seen
life through my heart
as i share of myself

Speachless..
There is so much on my mind to say and yet i can say nothing. I realize this is a poem about yourself and yet i feel as though you have painted with words, my very soul. This, is without any doubt the most touching poem i have ever read. I hold you now as my favorite poet, above all other, even Robert Frost, this is amazing. I do not know what else to say, you have brought tears to my eyes. Well Done Terrie, may you're words continue to bless others as they have blessed me.
