I must Be!

Dry tears are running down my face
Fear holding my deepest embrace
I cannot show tears of fear
Not to myself
Not to my Dear

I must be strong
I have to move on
Emotions turmoil within head
Keep to myself
We’ll be ok, is what I said

I cannot lose the rest of me
As I have lost so much of thee
Cannot give up and let them win
Explore new Life
From deep within

Open my heart to trust in thee
And be what I’m suppose to

Be.

True to self is being true to the world and where all happiness finds it's beginning.  Well versed and very much enjoyed your work in this.

It's wonderful that you choose to BE what you are supposed to BE. And you said it with such grace, it touches the heart.

Sehr schön!

Love,

Thank you for all your welcomed comments, I do appreciate this very much. And Yes Suthern please do!
I am speechless as to all your kindness, thank you as it is so uplifting.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
