Friends For Survival, Inc We all take the miracle of life for granted
Our busy hectic lives see to it that there is never enough time
Only Jesus Christ knew where He came from and where He was going
All of us of this world are left to only our faith
How does life get so unbearable for someone who is loved so much
This eternal question will never be answered by those of us left behind
The pain cannot be expressed in words, but can be seen on our faces
A tidal wave of emotion fills our spirits with anger, grief, sadness, and love
I for one will take more time to listen, and spend less time talking
When faced with a choice I will no longer take the selfish option
How many times could I have changed my schedule so I could be there
Why does it take a tragedy for families who love each other to show it
I will spend the rest of my time on earth letting the people I love know it
This poem is meant not to blame ourselves, but to open our eyes
No mother, sister, father, or brother should ever have to go through this
Life will never be the same
In memory of Jeffrey Alan Bolden

I am now known as the favorite aunt because of this bitter lesson learned. My son left for reasons that are not clear but I do understand the importance of taking a moment with all the children (& some adults) to hear what they are saying and stay in the moment with them.
The greatest thing we will do in this life is impact those that come in contact with us. So, are you here in the moment & listening or lost and wanting to be heard?
