Sometimes I feel remiss,
That I've simply been dismissed,
Invisible to the day,
Crowds of children play,
Never inviting,
If they could only see,
The child behind the smile,
Standing all alone,
Wanting desperately to be loved,


Echoes of remorse,
Yet still they walk on by,
I silently sigh yet never compromise,
My beautiful smile,

Even to this day,
All grown up with a say,
I feel a twinge of sad dismay,
For not knowing, how to be a child.

If I knew, had a clue,
Maybe then someone would
share the laughter,
I needed more than
tears..

Thank you RMW, it's the inner peace of God that does carry me through. Sometimes though the struggle within is the real war.

*soft sigh* That was lovely, and filled with a moving depth of emotion. I think I'm going to like it here!  )
