My Wish

By -

My wish for you for tonight's that you know
My thoughts are with you wherever you go
And I don't know you well, but I've seen you around
You're in a dark place, that much I can tell

I just want you to know that you're never alone
Depression is a warrior I personally know
The pills or the gun or the blade to your wrist
May seem like an out but that plan's not the best
See, I've been where you are but I've come through it too
And if I of all people can come out so can you
I know that it's hard, just too much for one man
That's why I'm here, offering a hand
I leaned on shoulders to get here today
Now you lean on mine while you're on your way

    I like how the couplets keep it from getting the reader too down while handling a serious topic (one of the most serious, dare I say) at the same time. Lovely poem!

Now alone, Levi is determined to rescue what remains of his people, even if it means entering the Safe Lands, a walled city that seems anything but safe. Omar knows he betrayed his brother by sending him away, but helping the enforcers was necessary. Living off the land and clinging to an outdated religion holds his village back.

Firmoo: Global Online Optical Store (Review and Giveaway!)

One thing you, my lovely readers, may not be aware of - or may be confused about - is that I wear glasses.  Most of the images on my blog show me wearing my lovely Vera Bradley glasses, although my main photo (see me in the green dress in the right sidebar?) was taken while I was wearing contacts. My entire family actually wears glasses, contacts, or a combination.  That adds up to a good deal of money in eye doctor appointments, prescriptions, and new glasses - lens and frames - and contacts.  So when Firmoo , an international online glasses company, approached me about a review and giveaway, of course I said yes!
