Fountains of tears reflecting brave hearts - journeys winding <br />down long roads of life, awaiting relief from stresses and <br />suffering brought to us by living. <br /> <br />Knowledge of another's pain cannot be fathomed nor judged, it <br />hurts only the person within. <br /> <br />Such a pain-filled walk through life is not fair to one so <br />young. <br /> <br />At nineteen the world is weighing him down with excruciating <br />pain that should never have been. <br /> <br />As loving memories continue to rip and tear his fragile mind <br />and heart, wanting only to hold his little daughter again. <br /> <br /> (4: 42 p.m. - 8/26/97)<br /><br />RoseAnn V.
