My Way

My Way

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost



My Way
 
I really don't understand
the mistakes I continue to make
I try to be true to all that I meet
yet some insist all of me they take

I'm old and tired
the fight is just too great
In everyone's life
comes the time of checkmate
 
Time again Ive pulled myself up
to only be knocked down again
The fight is done Im beat and tired
the time has come for the final amen
 
My heart betrayed
in the deepest sense
I search for reasoning
and offered no defense
 
My heart is torn
my undoubtable trust broken
With unthinking actions
my soul he has beaten.

I have fought the good fight
I've loved so very deep
but this hill I now face
is just to steep

My Heavenly Father I fall at your feet
I pray for Your forgiveness
For I have not the strength to fight
and now wish a life of heavenly richness

No further meaning for my existance
I have loved all that I can
Its time for an end to the pain
and to return to where I began.

I followed where I felt you have led
I've tried to live in your pathway
Upon this earth I just have no place
Please take me home with you today

My Way


Yes there were times
I'm sure you knew
when I bit off more than I could chew
but thru it all without a doubt
I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all
and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved
I've laughed and cried
had my fill ... my share of losing
and now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
and may I say not in a shy way
Oh no no not me
I did it my way.

ღ God ask me how long I planned on keeping you in my life.
 I smiled and said...
How do I choose between always and forever...ღ

My Dearest of Dearst Friends,

I read this and had to wait to try somehow to find the words to place here. I know that you feel defeated and beaten, and you have taken far more than your share of hurt and betrayal. I wish that I could somehow make this hurt just magically go away. All I can do is be here for you whenever you need me. I have always admired your strength, and waivering though it may be at the moment, it is still there. How in truth I pray that these would not be your feelings, but at the moment I know that they are. Sweetie, please remember that there are so many that love and respect you, for the you, that is you. You pray to our God to take you. I pray to our God to NOT! I have no idea how I would face this world without you. I love you my precious friend and as Forrest has written below me, if there are any fools in this very sad heartbreak of your life, it is not you. I wish that I could find the right words, but just can't seem to. Just always remember that me and mine, love you as ours, and always will. KKL

Oh, Donna...if I could I would put my arms around you. But for you to say you have no purpose anymore? THAT'S JUST YOUR DEPRESSION...you are so VERY valuable in this world. I do have one very important suggestion: Quit giving all of yourself so quickly....you need to wait for someone who needs YOU more than you need them, and then perhaps you will find your soul mate. But until then, know how much you are loved by SO MANY and foolish is he who has abused your love...

Oh Cowboy you are such a precious soul... thank you.

Jim I love you my dear friend and supporter. Your opinion is always so important to me and sooo valued.

Forrest I've known this person for ten years. I dont feel I rushed into this relationship. Im really not the fool I appear to be, Its just that this was a side I have never seen or known that he even possessed.
I guess Im totally out of touch of what to look for to know a sure thing. I love you dearly my friend.
Its a little hard to accept life as it presents its self with what has been lost over the past several months.
I wish somebody could tell me what is worth stayn around for....

My precious Lesa I love you more than you could ever know. Needless to say the call did not come so I
guess I know.

To love and help out others is never a mistake, but it can take an emotional toll when those you trust hurt and take advantage of you... that is when you remember the ones who do appreciate and benefit from your kindness.
