The Poetic Voyage - Poetry Of Life's Journey

Days gone by, Are like jets that fly, Memories stored in, Are like movies we played in. Have we ever thought then, What we think now, Have we ever thought life, Was turning around. I loved you when, You never noticed me, I pleaded then, You never spared me. You yelled at me, When I cried, I said I'll stop, And I really tried. Life went on, I couldn't stop crying, But I continued trying, I wish you knew that time was flying. I see you now, Kicked out of your house, Lying on the wet streets, Where I used to be. It's not your fault, My dearest son, It was mine, That your son carries now. Examples we showed, The results we got, I wish I could, Have saved us all. I'm sorry my son, I shout out loud, With regrets in my heart, I realize what I've done, But I can't help you now, Cause I'm long gone. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-

A persistent beat, From the far East, In a world so quiet, From a heart backfired. Unable to speak, Too shocked to weep, Drowned in sorrows so deep, A heart set on fire. Lifeless knees, Kissing the streets, With tear-less eyes, Beneath the bright skies. Recalling good times, Inquiring why, Wondering how, Good times just fly. Looking at her son, Dragged down to the ground, In the hot blazing sun, Hit down by a truck. She did not speak, She could not cry, But just look at her son, And ask him why, She did not get, Her final Good Bye. -Debra R. N. Ludwick-
