Have Faith

Yes, I know there are secrets,
I watch them cripple you.
I can feel your past weigh on you,
a diligent thief stealing even when you smile.
I can see the damage from the suffering
life has dealt you.

But, I am here now.
Have faith in our dreams.
Happiness sometimes, for some people,
is not where your headed,
but in what you leave behind.

A little sad Tim but it does suggest the

deep feelings that have gone into that poem.
Well one my friend. Take care.

thank you Lindsay.

I think to properly place the joy into your life you must also acknowledge the sadness.
