A BIT BEYOND PERCEPTION'S REACH
I SOMETIMES BELIEVE ..I SEE THAT LIFE IS TWO LOCKED BOXES,EACH CONTAINING THE OTHER'S KEY!
SKIN (SARA BETH)
Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
And says will you please come with me
Sara Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think that we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes.
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A bald headed girl to the prom
For just this morning, right here on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair
It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had all been
Softly she touches just skin
And they go dancing, around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared
DIAMOND RIO "GOD ONLY CRIES"
On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.
It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm

Thursday, April 17, 2008 8:28 PM CDT SOME TIMES I JUST WRITE WITH NO DIRECTION ..OTHERS ..WELL THERE IS DIRECTION BUT IM JUST NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
YESTERDAY I FELL INTO A BLOGGERS SITE. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW I GOT THERE BUT WHEN I DID I FOUND THIS POEM THAT I SWEAR TO YOU WAS LIKE SHE WROTE ABOUT MIKE. I DONT KNOW HER NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN TO HER PAGE BEFORE YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE POEM:
For Why?
He goes
from boy
to patient
in a
BLIP
of a second.
Rides past
on his bike
Arms outstretched.
Feeling the wind
Helmet on head.
But what's been protecting
keeping the mass
from
growing
inside?
I imagine
This boy.
His laughter.
His charm.
Wooing staff.
As they take his blond locks.
His smooth head.
As he champions
for the fight
of his life.
One
I know
he will
surely
win.
Because
He
Is
Michael.

PRAYER REQUEST! (S)
PLEASE PRAY FOR TY'S FRIEND. HE IS A NEUROBLASTOMA SURVIVOR/ WARRIOR. HE HAS BEEN BATTLING CANCER FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW AND HAS TRIED EVERY DRUG YOU CAN IMAGINE TO CURE HIM. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT AT BAY BUT THE BEAST HAS TURNED AGAIN AND STARTED TO GROW AGAIN . HIS PARENTS ARE CRUSHED AND WILL BE GOING OUT OF STATE AGAIN TO TRY A TREATMENT CALLED MIGB. THIS IS A RADIOACTIVE TREATMENT. HE WILL BE ISOLATED FOR A WEEK. THEY CAN NOT TOUCH HIM DURING THIS TIME AND EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES MUST BE DISPOSED OF DUE TO THE HIGH LEVES OF RADIATION HIS BODY WILL BE EMITTING. THIS SUCKS ... CANCER SUCKS... AND I HATE IT!!!!!!!! PLEASE PRAY THAT THIS WORKS. OUR FRIEND IS 14 YEARS OLD AND WAS DIAGNOSED JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER TY. HOWEVER HE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF TREATEMNT LONGER THAN A FEW MONTHS.
I WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND , I WISH THERE WAS SOME MAGIC UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE. BUT THERE ISNT. NOTHING ABOUT CANCER IS RIGHT. NOTHING ABOUT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE AND NOTHING ABOUT IT IS ACCEPTABLE. IT STRAIGHT UP SUCKS!!
ALSO SEVERAL SILENT PRAYER REQUESTS PLEASE FOR OTHER FRIENDS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE FIGHTING THIS MONSTER ON A DAILY BASIS.
ALSO WE ARE NOW FIVE MONTHS WITHOUT MY DAD.. IM FINALLY ABLE TO GO TO WORK ON MONDAYS MOST OF THEM ANYWAY AND FINALLY ABLE TO SEE THE NUMBER 19 WITHOUT CRYING. I MISS MY DAD SOO MUCH AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD AT CANCER ITS THE MOST HORRIBLE THIEF EVER. IM SAD THAT MY DAD WILL NOT BE HERE WITH US FOR SO MANY THINGS. BUT I AM ALSO GRATEFUL THAT MY BABY BROTHER IS NO LONGER IN HEAVEN WITHOUT HIS FISHING BUDDY! I NOW HAVE TWO GUARDIAN ANGELS TO WATCH.. (IM SURE MORE THAN TWO) OUT FOR US.
************************************************************************************************************************
LIFE AND THE CRAZY THINGS WE GO THROUGH.....
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY?
WHY DID THIS OR THAT HAPPEN? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHY DO PEOPLE GO CRAZY AND DO HORRIBLE THINGS? WHY DOES GOD TAKE THE GOOD ONES AND LEAVE THE HORRIBLE PEOPLE TO LIVE LONG HORRIBLE LIVES?? IM A QUESTIONIER ( IS THAT A WORD?)
MANY TERRIBLE THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AROUND ME.. AND I MEAN ALL AROUND ME...
TODAY... GOD WATCHED OVER ME AND ASHLEY AND MY ANGELS KEPT US SAFE... WE WERE ONE CAR AWAY FROM A HORRIFIC CAR CRASH. I DONT KNOW HOW I STOPED MY CAR IN TIME , OR HOW I STAYED SO CALM TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INJURED IN THIS ROLL OVER CRASH. BUT I DID.. ASHLEY WAS SHOCKED THAT I DIDNT FREAK OUT AND WRECK MY CAR TRYING TO KEEP FROM BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CRASH ..
LAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO ORLANDO TO VISIT FRIENDS WHO WERE HERE FROM CT. THAT I HAD NOT SEEN IN MANY YEARS ..WE HAD A GREAT TIME.. WE LEFT AND DROVE HOME AND WHEN WE GOT HOME I READ THE PALM BEACH POST ONLINE. AND FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SHOOTING IN THE PARKING LOT WE HAD JUST WALKED THROUGH, I WAS LIKE OMG!
TWO WEEKS AGO I WALKED OUT OF MY OFFICE AT 1:30 AT 1:35 THREE MEN ROBBED THE JEWLERY STORE RIGHT NEXT TO MY OFFICE . MY BOSS SAT THERE SELLING A POLICY WHEN HE WAS SURROUNDED BY POLICE. THEY BEAT THIS POOR MAN TIED HIM UP AND STOLE ALL OF HIS INVENTORY OF 24 QT GOLD. THANK GOD FOR SILENT ALARMS.
ONE WEEK BEFORE THAT THERE WAS A SHOOTING ABOUT 100 FEET FROM MY OFFICE. SOME CRAZY GUY CAME IN TO WENDYS AND SHOT A FIREMAN WHO WAS THERE WITH HIS FAMILY .. KILLED HIM AND SHOT FIVE OTHER PEOPLE. WE WENT ON LOCK DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS AND THANKFULLY WE WERE ALL ALRIGHT AT WORK.. SHAKEN UP FOR CERTAIN.
I CONTINUE TO WORRY ABOUT WHOS WALKING IN THE DOOR AT WORK .. I KNOW THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE WE ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE..
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO GOD AND MY ANGELS FOR PROTECTING US AND KEEPING THE BAD... ALL AROUND US!
