Dawn LaTona replied to Brett Barton's discussion 'Don't give up on me' in the group Words From A Writer's Heart"I know now that I'm not alone.
For this Lord you have shown.
Bring us out of this darkness.
Help each other show some kindness.
This world covers up Your word.
And no one is on Your accord.
There is so much hatetred and pain,
Father…"
Brett Barton commented on Brett Barton's blog post 'Missing the point'"well you helped lead me to this, but what I am more excited about is that you have given me an idea for another book or short story on the same topic. I have talked to some of my friends and they think its a great subject to touch on.
Thanks Brett"

- About Me
- I'm just me. I love to write just found that out later in life but i have written a book about my crazy journey and I write poetry.
- My Testimony
- Where to start?
My sister and I had to endure one of the hardest childhoods imaginable, one that has taken everyone in my family from me and one that has driven me to become more than those that came before me. I let Satan and my past consume the majority of my life as I wandered aimlessly through with no sense of direction and in the past years with no one left around me. I have lost my mother, 2 brothers and my beloved sister and for so long I didn't feel like I deserved to live and I surely never thought I would make it to see my 34th birthday but lo and behold here I am. After my sister past it was the last straw, I lost all hope and fell to the bottom as deep as you can go. Over the next 2 year period I lost my job, lost my love, lost my children, was homeless for a bit, my world literally came crashing down around me. I tried to run from the past but it always caught up to me and on day when I had nothing left I asked God to show me what I was supposed to do, I prayed for his guidance and his help. I was led back home with nothing and there one great April afternoon, he came and showed me what he wanted. I have since been led to write a book called "In the silence we lie" about life, specifically mine and my sisters but more of a journey through life and how to battle depression and life issues. While writing this book I have also started writing poetry which you can read some of on my blog. People say I have a gift for motivation and I think that is exactly what God has asked me to do, reach out and help the ones struggling with life issue of all degrees. Through my writing my faith has strengthen, it has led me to many wonderful people, some of which I have helped and some which have helped me. My story is long and brutal, but the book will hopefully be out one day and the first step in Gods awesome plan for me will be completed, and the next one is just starting. Thanks to all, thanks to God, I am here if I am needed.

Don't give up on me

Don't give up on me
Category: Writing and Poetry
I know I fall short
Almost every single day
And I couldn't even to begin
To count all of the ways
I do things for me
Often ignoring Your will
Straying from Your light
Always brings such a chill
Without you by my side
I am always so alone
The future seems so lost
A could dark unknown
I am praying for help
Open my eyes to see
I need you dear… Continue

I see God today
I wrote this in 2 versions the first for our cowboy church and this one for the town community Thanksgiving service. It was by far the largest group of people that I have had the pleasure of getting up in front of and speaking too but I got a great response and I feel like it was one of my best. Hope you enjoy.
I started the morning off, in somewhat of a daze
My life at the moment, in such a crazy phase

Looking down from way above the clouds
I hear the things you say, even if not aloud
I want so much to be a part of your heart
But we seem to be drifting further apart
Bickering back and forth about who’s right
Only takes you away from My eternal light
Interpretations of My word gone astray
Choosing what you want to see from day to day
Because it’s not about the way you fix your hair
Or even about the clothes you choose to wear

Traveling on this endless journey of mine
I kept telling myself that all would be fine
No matter what crazy things came my way
I always deflected and continually ran away
You see if I ran and did not let them catch up to me
There was no way that I would be forced to see

Maybe Someday
I always wondered what, I was going to grow up to be
If I could get past all of the things, that forever happened to me
Thinking of all in my family, how was I the one to last
Maybe someday I will grow, to be bigger than my past
Consumed by things, that were not all that good for my soul
Twisting and turning, falling further, down this never ending hole
Hoping and praying, that one… Continue

- Hi Brett,
I really enjoyed your poem. There is another Christian social website started by a man in Texas that has s Inspiration Poetry Group on it. Check out this social website and see if you would be interested in joing. The social online communities can benefit from looking at things from the perspective you see them.
