• Life was never meant to be lived like this why me I just can't believe it. From pleasant walks down the stream under the moon lit path followed by the soft touch of a breeze along with the coyote choir singing down to me smoothly up from above the mountains. With that I felt in sync with the environment I was in, and the world it self. Then returning home with the smelly spices raising about the house followed by the laughter of children in the other room, but the most wonderful thing about being home was her; my love. Ever so full of spirit and joy, and she had an irresistible smile full of happiness that would always make you want to smile back at her ,and no matter how you are feeling her smile alone will make it all better this I know.

    Day after day I would get up at the same time fetch the water pale and bring it back for her to use throughout the day. Then i'll eat what she has made for that morning along with her and the children, after that it's a kiss good bye then off I go and as I walked down the trail she would always watch me until I am no longer visible to her anymore. Several hours later I decide to walk back home it was night time now. While I was walking the path on the way back was dimly lit and there was very little or no breeze at all, and the lovely song which usually came from the mountains have ceased. With that I felt a bit uneasy with the world in which I live in and now all i can think about is her and seeing that wonderful smile again.

    I finally made it home as i walked up to the door I noticed that none of the lights were on I then grabbed for the door however it was slightly opened already. So as I started to walk in my house it was very dark in there but after taking a few steps I slipped on the wet floor and with the impact I was knocked out and I laid out cold on the floor for the rest of then night.
    I had finally woke up and everything was in a blur a few minutes went by i had fully regained consciousness and then I looked around the house and I found her and the children all starring at me with mild looks then she started to cry and as her tears went down her cheeks my eyes slowly followed them as they hit the floor. A couple of moments went by then she moved her arm and grasped my hand she was holding it tightly in her arms then she moved it and placed my hand on her face. She then smiled and said, " please don't you ever go to far away from the house again I love you ever so dearly don't leave us again please". And with that I wonder to myself why would she have said such a thing, and so I asked but all that could come out of her mouth was, "them" and not saying anything else she then grabbed a hold of me and we both held one another for as long as we could.

    Shortly after I felt a sharp pain going through my body I then fell up against the wall then a shadow appeared in the door way after that I seen a man in a golden hat along with a few others so i tried to get up on my feet but i was paralyzed by the intense pain that I was in. But with all the commotion that was going on it was just sickening to be watching just unbearable. With all of this i can feel my life dripping away bit by bit. I just couldn't stand seeing all of this if i was only here last night. Then none of this would have happened then a few moments went by and then the bandits left the house. And with what little energy I had left I turned my head just to see her for one last time, and it seemed like she was trying to tell me something but i couldn't hear her. But deep down my heart knew what she was saying to me and so i stared at her smiled back and said, " Yes i know and I love you too ---. And before i could finish my last sentence my life drifted away into the unknown.

    But this I know that no matter where I will be heading to now my love and soul will forever and will always be her's and her's alone. Because I love her and I know she is saying the same thing back to me I can still feel her presents within my heart.
