Moment of Peace
I wish I could give you
Dreams upon which you would build your future
Memories as a foundation,
Tears with which you would
wash your soul
Laughter on which you would dine
Music to fall asleep on
Rays of golden sunshine with which you would awake
Rain with which you
would grow
And Love, whose seeds
you would sow,
wherever you might go

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionDiagnosed PTSD by Veteran's Hospital. Spent 5 years taking care of my Mother after Father died and she had major heart surgery (within a month). She died from a car accident on Jan6-08. Obliterated the remainder of family. Roamed US in a too-small rv trailer with a 15 mo Dachshund puppy. Finally bought a house in Waco TX. A year later now, I can now dress and feed myself. Puppy is doing great though.
