Leavin'

LEAVIN'

 

I’m packin my bags and I’m loadin up the bike

I know I’m in for the roughest ride of my life

I’ve ridden lots of miles, some in snow and some in rain

But this time it’s different, I’m carryin pain

I’m leavin a place for twenty years we called home

But the kids are all older now so Daddy can roam

For twenty five years my kids were my life

Leavin them now cuts like a knife

I can’t come back to this home any more

I know it will be hard walkin out that door

I’m sure that I need this and I hafta cowboy up

But I know it’ll be hard sayin bye to the pup

I’ll try to hold my tears when I say my good byes

It’s hard ridin your bike with tears in your eyes

I gotta be strong and I know that this is right

I’ll make it down the road and cry out of sight

Someone from above is showing me the way

Not sure who it is but I know I gotta pray

I hope I can find out who is my spiritual guide

I came close before and it was during a ride

Maybe while I ride it will all come to me clear

All my questions will be answered and I’ll have no fear

Only then can I come back to my Dear Sweet Jayne

Who I know my leaving is causing her pain

But I need to get stronger for Jaynie and Sean

Hooking up when I’m weak just seems to be wrong

I need to work out some stuff and to get my **** together

And to give our love a chance at forever and ever

I pray that my path is straight and true

And then Baby I’ll come straight back to you

Admitting this is a good start....

Your heart may be ach’n for why I don’t know

But if you’re out ride’n please take it slow

 

Life has its turns as many can say

If it’s the Lord you trust he’ll show you the way

 

The grass may seem greener when looking afar

But that’s not a reason to change where you are

 

Love isn’t lust, it’s the time that we share

With age old friends and people who care

 

Embrace your challenges for they make us strong

They give character and won’t last long

 

I do not know you but I have read your poem

One blessing I see is you have a home

 

So take some time and ride if you must

But keep true to your family...

... and in the good Lord do trust.

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts... I'll be leaving my home in Waldo, ME in the next couple of weeks and heading down to my Bro's in Kissimmee, FL.. I haven't been on here that much lately but I know I still have friends here.. Most of my internet stuff lately has been on Facebook and Yahoo Instant Messenger... I have a few of you on my Facebook but if I'm missing anyone send me a friend request... Hope to see some of you FL guys while I'm there..

God speed and good luck. Remember you've always got some one to turn to here.

All the best on your quest, search him out and he will be there.

Like others, Mark, I wish you a journey that you can look back on and feel that it was good for you and your family. Remember that even though many of us have not met in person, we care and our best wishes are sincere.
