All This I Did For You
1 May, 2004
Author: Clive B Ringshall

From another land I came,
To start a life with nothing at all,
To fall in love,
To put you first in all I did,
To pay you’re bills to keep you afloat,
This I did for you to live,

To see you through when times were hard,
To care for you after surgery,
To put you first in my thoughts,
This I did for you to live,

Papers filled a card was given to me,
Legal now so much to see,
Four years on you found another,
Took my place in only one way,
This you did to me,

Government found out and took me away,
Paperwork denied all rights forbidden,
A non person I become so they told,
To work I cannot, School I cannot,
Six months they say before I’m Judged,
To live with no means I cannot,
To pay rent and food, tell me how?
This you did to me.


After I’m judged deport they’ll do,
My life here ends quicker than it began,
Friends I’ve made life’s I touched,
A job created into a career to build,
To stay I’ll try and do,
Told by the government this cannot happen.
All I had is now lost,
All this you did to me

------- Author's Notes -------

I've been living in New Mexico for 5 years now, I came with love and gave love. My love was turned and used for another, Now I face deportation, but until that day I'm not allowed to attend school, or to work. So please explain how I live until they decide for me to leave?
With love and Hope Clive B Ringshall

I'm really sorry Clive

Hello "poetic expert" a.k.a "poetic genius"! I'm really sorry to hear about your deportation, and the betrayal..... If I'm correct, this person turned against you, after you went to the north pole, just to get her through her worst......
You must be frustrated and aggravated, but I know that dark cloud won't be there for long.....
Instead, when the time comes for you to get the victory, you can say, "look who's laughing now"!

I hope with all my heart, that you endure through your reflective situation, and your hardship....

Sincerely,

Meridian

I've not lost yet

Even though the odds arn't good,
Even thought things seem bad,
I still have friends,
I still have fight,
So untill the end I live and prey,
Thank you both my special friends

I'm sorry too

oh clive I'm sorry ,try to remember things happen for a reason. Maybe you are being tested, to see if you have the strength to go after what you want and as far as being betrayed. that made you stronger and more aware. Take care.
