DID YOU KNOW?
A letter found lying on top of a pile of unfinished paper
work:
Did you know? Every
day I mourned with you. I watched you
as you cried. Your wife was taken from
you too soon. You had so many plans you
wished to fulfill. Children. A home.
You could have forgotten it all and been happy. If only they had forgotten you….
Did you know?
Every day I lied with you. You
were keeping a secret. You weren’t as
the others were. You remained
human. Your compassion knew no
bounds. Your soul stayed hopeful, though
it had no right to. You loved, even as
they cursed you for that love….
Did you know?
Every day I worked with you. You
tried to make things work. Living two
lives torn you apart. You knew each
side had its points, its right stances, yet those who you talked to would not
listen. You tried to negotiate, but
they turned away…
Did you know? Every
day I felt your fear. You were walking
a line and you knew it. One mistake
either way and you would not live to see the others you cared about hurt
because of it. And that was your
problem. You cared so much about both
sides. You shared your soul, and they
used you…
Did you know?
Every day I felt your loneliness.
You were in a unique position.
People all around you, yet none of them really understood. You did what you did for your own
reasons. Forget rules and
regulations. It was your heart that led
the way. You gave your opinion, and
they ignored it….
Did you know?
Every day I heard your wishes.
You prayed that others would be able to understand. That they would be able to pull together in
that understanding and make things right.
You told them the right path to follow, but they chose to close their
ears to your words….
Did you know?
Every day when you thought you could not go on, I was there to give you
support. You had a special
destiny. Even when you thought all you
did was for nothing, it made more of an impact than you would know. It set the stage, even if you refused to
believe it….
Did you know?
On that day, I was there. When
your life was taken from you, I reached out and brought you home. I helped you see. Though it may have looked like your life was stolen from you, it
was your time. Your battle was
over. It was time for you to stop
working for another’s dream and start living your own…
