Do you feel the way I do?
Do you share the same heartache?
You can bleed and cry and want to die,
Or you can bend until you break,

It isn’t easy to be lonely,
It’s harder to be on your own,
When the ones you love have left you,
And all you feel is alone,

But take a look around you,
Tell me what you see,
More than you know, One really cares,
Watching over thee,

Lift up you chin and smile,
And listen to your heart,
Make today a happy place,
Don’t let sadness tear you apart,

For you have so much to live for,
And a life that’s meant to share.
Reach just a little farther up,
For your burdens, He will bear,

Listen to your heart again,
You‘ll hear the answers if you try,
You know He has a plan for you,
So, Tell me why you cry?

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.

WTB, That is one great poem my friend

A real delight to read, the rhyming
and meter were spot on. Take care.

Beautiful advice you've written, my friend. *S* When we're down, we sometimes forget to look up.

I never let one moment define me,
I define myself by all moments and how they teach and touch me......02
