Another Poem about Sam...

My Everything

When I am discouraged and heavy hearted

Your laughter lightens my load.

When I am overwhelmed and weary

Your baby touch gives me the strength to carry on.

When I am angry for all we must fight for

And the daily struggle to survive

Your angel smile reminds me

There is a purpose for everything.

When I am happy

Your joy amplifies mine to unimaginable heights.

When I cry for the things you will miss in life

You show me the things everyone else will.

You are my inspiration and strength.

My faith and love surround you.

My daughter, my angel, my teacher.

My everything.

ANGRY/Sorry/helpless...

I am ANGRY for you.

I am ANGRY that because some

"Well meaning" moron lied,

You were hurt.

I am ANGRY at myself for you.

You trust me to protect you from

"THEM".

I was unable to protect you.

I am so sorry.

I am sorry I was so afraid of "THEM",

When you needed me to be strong for you.

"THEY" threatened to take you from me,

And that threat shattered my heart.

I was too frightened of loosing you to a lie

To protect you from it.

I don't know how to make things better again,

And I'm sorry for that too.

I want to hold you in my arms forever

And protect you from the world.

There are so many of "THEM" in the world,

And only one of me.

"THOSE" who will never understand you.

"THOSE" who will always look down on you.

"THOSE" who will hurt you

Or unintentionally cause you harm.

I want to keep you in a rose tinted bubble,

So you do not have to see the ugliness in the world,

And so "THEY" can never touch you.

But you have seen the ugliness.

And I was helpless to stop "THEM".

I was unable to protect you,

And I'm sorry.
