Fall In Love

One day, a young guy and a young girl fell in love.

But the guy came from a poor family. The girl’s parents weren’t too happy.

So the young man decided not only to court the girl but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.

But there was another problem: The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he was being sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on his knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” She wiped a tear, said yes, and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would get married.

But tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular accident. It was a head-on collision.

I wish I was the same soul I used to be

Unfortunately, our past had a clean soul like a child. I rather be childlike and free, than wise and bitter. Wise and clean soul like a child would be ideal. Don’t lose the happy child within your soul. ~ Leigh Rivera

It’s still in there, only very deep and well hidden so you can’t see it any more. I keep it locked away in a safe place, protected and resting unused. ~ Sheila Bright

I'm not the same soul I once was. A lot has changed. A lot had to change. So you should't expect out of me what I embodied in the past. For that part of me no longer exists.
