WE'RE ALIKE

we're alike
WE'RE ALIKE, YOU AND I

We're alike, you and I.
We've never met
Our faces would be those of strangers if we met
We would barely perceive the other's presence
If we passed on our walk through the mists
We're unknown to each other
Until the terrible words have been spoken
"MY CHILD DIED"
We're alike, you and I
We measure time in seconds and eternities
We try to go forward to yesterday
Tomorrows are for the whole people,
And we are incomplete now
The tears after a time turn inward
To become invisible to all save you and me
Our souls are rumpled from wrestling with demons.
And doubts and unanswerable prayers.
"GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD"
We're alike, you and I.
The tears that run down your face are my tears
And the wound in your soul is my pain too.
We need time, but time is our enemy
For it carries us farther and farther
From our lost child
And we cry out;
"HELP ME"
We're alike, you and I.
And we need each other
Don't turn away, but give me your hand
And for a time we can cease to be strangers
And become what we truly are,
A family closer than blood.
United by a bond that was forced upon us---
But a bond that can make us stronger,
Still wounded and not to sure,
But stronger for our sorrows are shared.
"WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE"

TROY COLLINS JR'S OBITUARY

WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD WE CAN DO ANYTHING. I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM AS I WRITE THIS OBITUARY OF MY DEAR LITTLE NEPHEW--- TROY COLLINS JR.- 15
GOD GAVE A LITTLE BOY TO TROY AND SALLY COLLINS ON SEPT, 20 1983.
HE CALLED HIM AWAY ON JULY , 7 1999.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE PITIFUL CRIES OF MY SISTER AS I WALKED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOORS.
' MY BABY! ' MY BABY' - GOD , PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY BABY""!
I FOLLOWED HER VOICE TILL I FOUND THE AREA THAT HELD HIS LITTLE LIFELESS BODY.
THIS WAS THEIR CHILD THAT THEY LOVINGLY RAISED, CARED SO MUCH FOR AND TRIED TO PROTECT HIM FROM ALL HARM, AS GOOD PARENTS DO.
THIS WAS THE LITTLE BOY WHO ALWAYS SMILED AND HAD SO MUCH RESPECT FOR HIS FAMILY.
THIS WAS THE LITTLE BOY "" WHO WASN'T ASHAMED TO SAY "" I LOVE YOU!!"
THIS WAS THEIR BABY BOY.
HOW DO YOU COMFORT SOMEONE WHEN THEY'VE LOST A PRECIOUS CHILD???"
I'LL TELL YOU HOW, ON YOUR KNEES ASKING, " GOD TO HOLD THEM UP".
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO COMFORT SUCH PAIN.
TROY WAS A PASSENGER IN A TRUCK ENTRUSTING HIS LIFE TO A VERY UNCARRING BOY WHO NEVER HEEDED TROY'S WORDS " DON'T PASS ON THE HILL AND SLOW DOWN. WE KNOW TROY FEARED FOR HIS LIFE ,THE BOY LOST CONTROL AND TOOK A GREAT LIFE WHO BEGGED TO LIVE .
YOUNG PEOPLE """ BEWARE!
LIFE IS JUST A BREATH AWAY!
JUST AS TROY'S WAS TAKEN THAT DAY.
