There was a time when I would cry,
and ask God Why?

There was a time when I would hope,
and look for the light.

There was a time when I trusted and cared,
never doubting a word.

But each new thing,
lessens these more.

Each new find,
leaves me wondering why.

Changed names, places, pictures,
all deceiving along and along.

Now I give up,
I will just go home.

To cry no more.

A sorry tale for a lot but when you think about it, home is a good place.  In each bad experience we gain knowledge, and through that we enjoy the good times more, and get better at avoiding the bad ones?

Well done!

Carpe' Diem,
Mysteria

Very insightful, dear Lisa. This is the real power we have, but sometimes are not aware of.

Beautiful!

Love and hugs.

We may never know the reasons "Why". I was once told, things happen for a reason. But, it would be nice to know the reasons "Why".

As I read, I just wanted to send a basket of hugs your way and then I was thinking.  Sometimes the answers come to us when we go home.  Funny how that is.

I like this poem - it makes me think.
