Introduction
sometimes brings happiness,
sometimes brings tears.
would I truly like the things I see,
or would I do things differently, if it could be.
how would I change things,
where would I start,
or are these just reflections, of the heart.
I can never go back, and do it again,
I can only reflect on, "What might have been."
Credit

those I have met, who have let me share a bit of their life, the
good, the bad, and often the ugly, and their “Forever Things” I
thank you. If it were not for the precious moments you have allowed
me to see and share, in hopes of helping others on their walk

Dedication
This
Book, is dedicated to all those who have learned how precious the
past is, and the forever things, they left behind, as they rushed to
taste life,
and what they thought it could offer, only to discover that their
“Forever Things” were life itself!
Forever Things
As
a little girl the world was mine,
and
everyone was loving and kind.
I
had my dolls, toys ,and stuff,
and
for me that was enough.
they
were my forever things,
that
I would always love,
and
that made my heart dance and sing.
As
I grew things began to change,
nothing
was quite the same.
the
little girl so happy and free,
saw
a different world ,
than
I thought it would be.
and
the dolls ,and the toys ,
that I loved so much,
I
hardly ever gave a touch.
my
forever things turned into boys,
no
more playing, with those silly toys.
the
sky, the moon, the stars above,
only
spoke to me now of love.
My
childhood friends became a bore,
I
was mature, and deserved so much more.
there
was nothing I didn’t know,
and
I often told my parents so.
the
world was mine, just one big brass ring,
and
it offered to me everything.
My
parents love, I no longer needed,
I
hushed their voices, as they pleaded.
it
was my life, I was in control,
I
no longer needed to be told.
So
I left it all behind,
on
the road to success, I was so blind.
I
thought I was wise,
and
knew the world,
but
I was just a silly girl.
I
met so many people out there,
one’s
I thought really cared.
they
said ,they were my forever friends,
and,
would stay with me, until the end.
we
laughed, played, had so much fun,
but
they were false, everyone.
They
were all takers,
who
wanted a part of me,
but
I was so blind, I could not see.
the
clothes, the parties, and all the fun,
but
,my life was not a happy one.
The
face in the mirror,
became
hard and cold.
the innocence of my youth,
no longer to behold.
the pleasures of the world,
were
no longer sweet,
and, made demands, I could not meet.
I
was no longer the master of my fate,
but
,this knowledge came to me to late.
it
was to late to turn back now,
and,
I didn’t really, know how.
So
,I had to keep going,
I
could not stop,
Even
though I knew ,
I
would never reach the top.
I’d
sold myself to the world,
my
mind, my body, and my soul,
all
to achieve the worlds gold.
I’m
bound in chains, you cannot see,
the
world has totally captured me.
I
fell in love,
it
chained me too.
his
words were lies,
and
never true.
he
promised to love me forever,
and
then, he left me for,
my
closest friend.
When
my money ran out,
my
friends did too,
I
had sacrificed the old, for the new.
the
past is like a movie screen,
I
know I lived it,
but,
it seems like a dream.
its
just a flicker, in my mind,
of
when I was young,
and the world was kind.
and
,forever things seemed to last,
now
they live only in my past.
I
didn’t cherish ,my forever things,
and,
all the happiness they did bring.
I
wanted to grow up so fast,
and,
put those childish things in the past.
I
lost so much, I didn’t see,
what,
wanting the world riches,
had
done to me.
I
see it, in the eyes of young girls,
all
so thirsty ,to taste the world.
not
knowing, the price it will cost,
and
,in the end their soul, may be lost.
the
glitz, and the glam,
will
fade one day,
as
alone ,on your bed you lay.
and
the tears you shed,
that
no one can see,
as
satin sheets ,lay under thee.
Tomorrow,
you’ll host a grand affair,
but
the ones who matter, won’t be there .
you’ll
smile, seem happy, its your life,
while
silently, you wish it all would end,
and,
you were back home ,
with
family and friends.
And,
all those silly little “forever things”
family,
home, friends, and more,
that
you left behind ,
when
you closed that door.
I
hope this book ,and all it brings,
will
make you cherish ,
your
forever things.
and
keep them close ,within your heart,
and
never let “forever things” depart.
or
one day you will be like me,
wishing
your “forever things”
could
still be.
Looking
Back!
I
miss the girl ,that once was me,
happy
go lucky, wild, and free.
I
miss seeing the world,
through
a child’s eyes,
where
fairy tales seemed real,
and
there were no lies.
I
miss Sunday picnic’s,
carnivals,
and fairs
where,
families played together,
and
everyone cared.
I
miss it all, it doesn’t seem fair,
to
have to grow up,
and
leave it all there.
In
life there are so many “Forever Things,” that we let go
of, because they didn’t last forever. But ,the one thing, that
will last forever ,is the love of GOD. He will always love you,
forgive you and ,will always accept you, if you accept him. He will
never leave you for another, or break off his friendship with you.
He’s always true, he never lies. He’s not fake, and truly wants
the best for you. he’s the one “Forever Thing” that will last
forever.
