A pebble in d waves

BY CARL KINGSTON

She told me she needed me
She said my girls needed me
The times were tough on us
I had to work far way

But nothing could move me more
Then the thought of my babies facing d rough without me
So I left my job to work closer to home
It's tough
But the smiles of my girls mean more than the world to me

I keep telling her to see through my eyes but she thinks otherwise
The slightest of waves move her yet again

She wants to take d kids n leave me
I tell her to b strong with me but she would rather find strength in
familiar surroundings of her family
Rather then trusting in me

I know d waves they shape a rock
n with time it becomes smooth
n finds rest in a spot on shore somewhere
and with time the tides change
Or river changes course
So Forever the pebble will remain where it lies

And so I pray that with each wave
She will learn
To hold on to what matters between us
And see d bigger picture
above d struggles of the present
And become stronger like me
Holding on
no matter how rough or strong
the currents of life may be

So that when the waves have moved us
To that one place
And d currents have done all they have been destined to do
They will move us no more
And there we shall be
Infallible
Strong
Together
Unshakable
