It’s come time that I hold you Free the pain from your past Let me wipe the tears from your face. And your sadness will leave you As it will pass in my loving embrace The visions of your old life Are really no life, But these things you already know. And your heart I know aches From unfortunate mistakes But that is no reason to go
The curves of your body, The shape of your waist All of these things I still desire to hold So stand so I can see you And let me feel your beauty unfold. But there’s no need to compare No need to despair, Over events that are what they are. To take back what’s real Keep your hands on the wheel And don’t lose sight of our star
If there was something to say I would form the words But some things we don’t need to hear And the look on your face Say’s that soon your love will appear The months pass by In a blink of the eye Come closer to me rest and your head on my arm And before you know it Our love will show it We’ll both be safe from harm
The hurt and your anguish Will always remind you Of the thoughtless choices you made And you’ve never lost sight That it was your true lover that you betrayed But I’m here at your side I have already cried, So there’s not much need to revisit that shame So smile for me baby And who knows maybe There’ll be no one left to blame

My last few days have blown me away, been celebrating my mom's birthday, enjoying her over the past few days. Sharing the bliss of things she enjoys.
Ended up running into my x-sil while shopping with my mom. Out of the blue she embraced me with open arms& goodwill. Tears in all us ladies eyes. We haven’t spoken to one another for almost 6 yrs.
We had wow moment good visit in the shop, steppin into our old roles of all good yrs we all once shared. In good spirit, we’re ridin with the flow& glow of good courage.
My mom, son, I ended up at my x-fil place on a divine peace mission for her birthday. She wanted her birthday hug from x-fil. Turned out my x-fil was planning to call her on her birthday. Talk about coincidences! Time for senior moments & peace!
Truly, amazing God moments of intervention, out of the blue surprise. Never thought something as powerful would ever happen, especially with my visit with my x-sil. Finding later myself sitting in my x-fil living room!
A time to put differences aside, life is short, and the visit calmed my son down tremendously. Just what he needed in his restless wounded heart!
My son needed his gramps, who imparted some great truths, courageous family history background, humorous stories, blessings! xFil, played a very special song. I marvelled at the song/timing. Paralleled along with of the first songs I posted awhile ago on the board “yesterday”. I just had healing tears streaming down my cheek.
My yrs of silent prayers were answered in ways I never imagined standing firm in the gap. It’s been a acrimonious up hill battle of my exh doings. Goodness prevailed over darkness & bumps of life. Down came the walls of denial, pain, suffering!
We didn't even permit my exh wrongdoings to enter the conversation. Not a drop of drama for him. My x fil was so cute, about to do a rant about his extreme disappointment of his son. I shifted the conversation topic as my exh wasn’t the reason for the occasion/or focus. It’s wasn’t about him, it was deeper, totally unplanned.
My attitude was of complete utter detachment. We all took the silent attitude cue, to say too heck with my exh defects/selfish big ego! Celebrated the good solid connections, relishing once more all the moments, experiences, memories, deeply melded/shared as a family, in joy!
The spontaneity was just so cool, as we all stepped into our roles, in sync family huddle. Many treasured family members were no longer with us. Those deep anchored treasured bonds, memories of love of family, once more filled the deepest places in our wounded broken hearts/shattered worlds.
At that moment, I felt there are bonds/mysteries of life, never to be fully understand, suffice not to even attempt an analysis, but to let things be as they are. The moment of warmest sentiments between the three of us was indescribable. Letting go in peace, love, laughter & no hard feelings! My x-sil/x-fil and I may never have another encounter, or cross each other paths again. My son, daughter& grandpa will have their own free separate connection, without interference. Grandparents/with grandparents.
God granted us peace in our hearts. Upon arrival, back at our house my son was just stunned but warmed by joy. Commented, how could I put aside all the hurt/injustice?
I laughed said we were all but old war-horses, it was for his sake, so young on the journey of life, to encourage him onwards that needed to be validated by the men/clan in his family, though they especially his dad, uncles are all pathetically weak,selfish and are nothing but trouble.
Gramps, has hung on and come around. I told my son, he was so worth it, needed it and most of all because we loved, adored & believed in him! He was just beaming!
I'm sure the ow will find out about it, feel threatened, vibrate at some rate, have an ugly green eyed medusa hissy fit, fuelled with jealousy/bitterness, spew out more venomous, mischief in her insecure, insatiable, selfish hate-greed filled empty heart.
It was just wonderful to leave family politics/complexities at the sidewalk, breathe, take a step of faith and just enjoy one another company.
So that’s my blessed update. Now that your back, here's a special song dedicated just for you! Located it while you were gone! Thinkin of ya! Hope you have some good tunes to add to the collection!
