Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sharon: This is a lovely poem, and I have printed it off for my file of " LBD Tributes. " Of course, if I ever share it, I will certainly be sure your name is shown as the author. Thanks. June C. Subject: poem To: lbdcaregivers Date: Wednesday, October 1, 2008, 11:28 AM hi everyone, i wrote a poem in 2 different parts, i was trying to understand daddy one day and just couldnt do it, and then i added the 2nd stanza after he died, anyone is welcome to use it, but please put my name and copywrite date as i won a contest and had my poem published ) My mind is locked in my own little world, Tightly wrapped, like a flag is furled. I try to reach out to the ones I love, But find I am closer to God above. Slowly, I shut out everyone in my life, My kids, even my husband or my wife. My world is closing in on me, Getting harder for me to see. I am scared of these feelings, The fear has me reeling. I try so hard to reach out of these clouds, Can't you hear me screaming out loud? Please help me out of my world, Like a flag, I want to unfurl. Please my friend, do not grieve To heaven I went, very peacefully. Be no sad that I am gone, Instead be grateful that I've won. I no longer suffer a loss of words, Nor do I fall forward or backwards My parents took my hand and then I followed the Light to be with Him. Again, my words start to flow, As I feel the breeze begin to blow, Once again, my flag is unfurled, I am now in His World.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sorry to hear you are feeling so ill. My granddaughter, who has been having so many problems, had a procedure yesterday where they inserted a catheter and put water in her bladder. They haven't gotten the results yet. She originally had UTI, then a bacterial infection, and got really sick early this week, couldn't breathe, so back to the doctor. Now, it's asthma, so albuterol and some other meds. She just can't get straightened out and has missed so much school. She's only 15, but she's sure learning the medical problems early. Hope you can rest, and hope the BIL staying works out without causing too many problems for you. June C.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Dear June, I'll send some good thoughts your granddaughters way - hope that the test results show no problems. This has been quite a year for people getting sick, unfortunately. My niece and nephew (6 and 10) started school in August, and my niece immediately brought home some nasty virus/bug/germ - and shared it with everyone - my nephew ended up with walking pneumonia! I hope your granddaughter will be fine in a hurry! Many good thoughts!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks. She has had an awful time, which has included skipping school and some emotional problems, mostly stemming from a boyfriend relationship that is very objectionable with her parents. She is enamored, he is black, a school dropout, has a disability, and probably will never be able to hold a decent job. So, everything has culminated in a big mess for her. I hope she will get her head straightened out soon. Thanks again, June.
