I suppose that life is optional for some,
but, with so many other options,
so readily available - - -
there must have been some kind of pain,
that I refuse to comprehend!
I wish that I could tell you this,
I so wished that I could have helped you with it,
I hope that you knew that I wanted to,
I so wish that you had come to me!
SO, you have made your own decision,
now ride my tears to heaven,
I pray that you have open arms,
when the rest of us catch up with you!
BUT, for the moment...
everyone I know will try to stick it out...
- - - or else ... ... ...
