word so easily flow for me,
yet this evening I am at a loss
I am trying to understand, how one so young can no longer want to live
while we wait, for news, if he will make it through this tragedy
I thank God for my blessings, and for the life I’ve lived
I ask myself, could I have done more
should I have known, were there signs that I missed
no one can know of course, what is really in someone else’s heart
how heavy the burden must have been
how alone he must have felt
now we wait and hope it is not too late.
Please pray for all the quiet souls who suffer in silence
so caught up in our own needs and wants
we sometimes forget to look around
and reach out with kindness
to someone who could use a friend.
I hold you all in my prayers
even though the miles are many and the distance way too far
for me to physically reach out and touch you
know that you never leave my mind.
and to you who is now clinging to what is left of your life
I close my eyes and pray with all my might
that the gentle hand of God will do what is right
& allow the blessing of peace this night

May your prayers be answered, for the highest good.
did you see where there was a shift, change, this young man is still here today… long road ahead.. thank you so much for your words/thoughts.. _/\_
No I missed that. SO GLAD to hear the news. Continued prayers for all.
this speaks to me. I’ve went through a lot of internal turmoil. Because of that, I mourn for others…even if they’re not showing it…even if they flash me a smile…I know everyone must have pain that somehow I feel I need to touch and make brighter for them. I just don’t want anyone to hurt. So my life’s mission is touch hearts; to care; to move your soul with my words. This poem is beautiful…I am happy that just reading made me feel this deeply. Thank you.
heartfelt thanks, oyashikiri
