[hometext] => I wrote this to my son because I DID HAVE A VISION OF HIM
[bodytext] => A VISION OF YOU… WHEN I WAS A SCHOOL GIRL I DREAMED I WOULD BE, A DOCTOR WHO CURED EVERY PET BROUGHT TO ME! MY PASSION WAS FOR CRITTERS, NO MATTER WHAT KIND. I LOVED THEM AND SOMEHOW I READ THEIR MIND. BACK THEN I WAS CERTAIN WHO I'D GROW TO BE BEING YOUNG I BELIEVED THOSE IN STORIES, YOU SEE. MY FRIENDS WOULD BE DOCTORS AND FIREMEN AND SUCH, BUT I'D HEAL GODS CREATURES, CAUSE I HAD THE TOUCH. I STILL REMEMBER MY FIFTH GRADE YEAR, A NEW BOY NAMED JUSTIN AND HIS FAMILY MOVED HERE. I COULDN'T STOP STARING WHEN HE WAKED IN MY CLASS, WITH CRYSTAL BLUE EYES THAT SPARKLED LIKE GLASS I DREAMED FROM THEN ON WHEN I HAD MY FIRST KID I'D NAME HIM JUSTIN, JUST LIKE HIS MOM DID. IN MY DREAMS YOU WERE PERFECT, ESPECIALLY YOUR LOOKS, I CREATED OUR LIFE FROM MY FAIRY TALE BOOKS. I PICTURED YOUR FATHER, HOW HE'D BE THE MAN, TO GIVE US A WORLD THAT WAS SAFE, WAS MY PLAN. I WAS SO YOUNG, BUT I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE JUST LIKE MY DAD, AND A HERO TO ME. MY DREAMS NEVER SHOWED ME THE BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR HOW ONE WRONG TURN; AND MY PLANS WOULD EXPLODE!! I GREW UP QUICK AND WATCHED ALL MY DREAMS SHATTER, AND ALL THE PLANS I MADE JUST DIDN'T MATTER! WITHOUT A WORD IN THE NIGHT MY DAD WALKED OUT THE DOOR MY DREAMS WEREN'T IMPORTANT TO ME ANYMORE. THE MAN I BELIEVED IN NEVER REALLY EXISTED, AND THE WORLD THAT I LIVED IN WAS EVIL AND TWISTED. I CLOSED MY HEART, AND I CLINCHED MY FIST AND DRINKING I PLACED ON THE TOP OF MY LIST. WHERE WAS I GOING? WHAT WOULD I DO? ---------- A BUMP IN THE ROAD ----------- AND THEN ONE DREAM CAME TRUE! AND AS I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, I REALIZED JUST HOW LIFE TURNS ON A DIME! THE DAY YOU WERE BORN, MY LIFE BECAME CLEAR, AND MY VISION WAS NOTHING LIKE HAVING YOU HERE! NOTHING COMES EASY, ------------- EXPECT BUMPS IN THE ROAD ------------- I LEARNED WHAT IT MEANT WHEN WE REAP WHAT WE SOWED. I STAYED WITH YOUR DADDY UNTIL YOU WERE THREE, WHEN I KICKED HIM OUT IT WAS JUST YOU AND ME. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THINGS I NEVER HAD, BUT I WAS ALONE AND YOU NEEDED A DAD! THEN WE HAD JORDAN AND I LOVED HIM TOO, I CANT PICTURE LIFE WITH OUT BOTH OF YOU I PRAYED I WAS WORTHY, I FEARED FOR MY BOYS; I HAD NO INSTRUCTIONS, I KNEW YOU WEREN'T TOYS! BUT I NEVER DREAMED OF THIS LIFE THAT WAS NEW AND I NEVER INTENDED FOR IT TO HURT YOU! I'LL NEVER KNOW THE PAIN THAT YOU HIDE, WHEN HURT MYSELF AND I ALMOST DIED. I HATED MYSELF AND MY LIFE WAS THE TRIGGER MY HEAD KNEW WHATS RIGHT BUT MY HEARTS ALWAYS BIGGER! LIFE WILL ALWAYS HAVE------BUMPS IN THE ROAD I JUST WASN'T ABLE CARRY THAT LOAD! THERE WERE SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS IN MY PATH, SOMETIMES IT WAS HARD AND THERES BAD AFTERMATH! I'M SORRY I'M NOT THE BEST MOM ON THIS EARTH BUT I KNEW LONG AGO THAT I WASN'T OF WORTH! NOW I TAKE THE BLAME AND I LIVE FULL OF GUILT FOR THE UNSTABLE LIFE OF CONFUSION I BUILT. I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO CHANGE WHAT I'VE DONE I'M SORRY I MADE YOUR LIFE SO HARD MY SON, I ONLY WISH YOU WOULD OPEN YOUR EYES; PLAN FOR YOUR FUTURE AND REACH FOR THE SKYS! LOOK BACK ON THE HARDSHIP I PLACED IN YOUR LIFE, AND PROMISE SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE GOOD TO YOUR WIFE BE A PROVIDER, MAKE YOUR KIDS STRONG MAKE SURE THEY KNOW GOD AND THEY KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG! AND JUSTIN, PLEASE PROMISE YOU'LL LEAVE A CLEAR PATH DON'T LEAVE BEHIND ROADS FULL OF BAD AFTERMATH! SON, KNOW IN YOU'RE HEART THAT DREAMS DO COME TRUE; MINE DID WHEN I HAD A VISION OF YOU!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
