Live life on your own terms
Do things your way
Do not follow the crowd
Strike your own path
Forge a new trail



You are you
You are not like the rest
So don’t treat yourself as if you are
Find your own gifts
Build them up
Be strengthened by them



Yes there will be pitfalls from time to time
But
Learn from them
Do not run away
Grow

In the fields
Where the wild life play
That is where I spend my days



Fixing Fence
Hauling hay
Cutting wood



Feeding the animals upon the farm
Cows in the pasture
Goats in the barn



Alpaca roam eating grass
It is so nice to have days like this last

Cooking
Spices
Flavors
The kitchen smells good



Cooking
Following instructions
Or doing something all my own
Joy

I believe that there is life after death
Our bodies decay
But our souls live on



What lies beyond the grave
A mystery it is

Heart beat
Time after time
Every time I see you
Wishing you were mine

Climbing trees
Childhood fun
Climb so high
You touch the sun

Her name was Jordan
Beautiful in
Mind
Body
And soul

She was strong
Both in body
And in heart

She used her heart
To reach out to those around her
Bring comfort when needed
Helping wherever she could

So when the war hit
It was not surprising that she was in a medic outfit
Helping wounded soldiers heal

After the war
Her wounds could not heal
Mentally
Emotionally
She started a downhill slide

She stopped taking care of herself like she should
She just stopped caring

Even though she had left the war many years behind
The war never truly left her
Haunted by the images of that time
Haunted by the cries of the ones she could not save

Yes, it had been many years
But it all seemed like it was happening that very moment

She tried therapy
She tried talking to others who dealt with the same poblem

Sadly however she finally just drifted away
Leaving it all behind
Going from town to town
Never staying to long

She has become a homeless drifter
All in an effort to deal with the pain
All in an effort to deal with her past
