some day in April

Posted by: Tanae' A. on: April 16, 2007

like hammer to a nail

life has screwed you

and in an instant

pain has shot right thru you

innocence is you

and in another 30 days

the world forgets you

and who will speak on your behalf?

for you, now

are nothing more than a number

and I dont know which one

you have become

but I know that before 7:15 this morning

you had a name

and sorry to say

this is how you earn your fame

you have finally made

every hour of the news

and nothing can take

the credit you are due

i name you a fallen soldier

dying in a war that has no end

losing a battle

that has no winner

fighting for something

that you didn’t even know

you volunteered for

and just like you bled

my heart bleeds

my soul cries out

and my only prayer is that

you would hear me from where you sit

you are a hero

and the one’s that you leave behind

continue your legacy

like lightning to the ground

death has struck you

and like sunny days in june

memories become you

some day in April

tears fall from those who loved you

[dedicated to the many that have lost their lives at Virginia Tech... may your souls rest in peace... and to the students, friends, and family members that mourn... may your souls be strengthened during this hard time]

What I Write About

This Bible Verse Caught My Attention

Philippians 4:12:: I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Life Lessons By Carrie Underwood

There's some things that I regret, Some words I wish had gone unsaid, Some starts, That had some bitter endings, Been some bad times I've been through, Damage I cannot undo, Some things, I wish I could do all all over again, But it don't really matter, Life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. There's mistakes that I have made, Some chances I just threw away, Some roads, I never should've taken, Been some signs I didn't see, Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some wounds, That I wish I could have one more chance to mend, But it don't make no difference, The past can't be rewritten, You get the life you're given, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. And all the things that break you, Are all the things that make you strong, You can't change the past, Cause it's gone, And you just gotta move on, Because it's all, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Lessons learned.
