We write from the heart and passion's express
It's sad but each day does deliver much less
It's dreaming and hoping that helps us go on
Not truths that we meet and ponder upon

I believe it's the dreaming through shows that we see
That lets us imagine how life it should be
But reality pokes and again we all wake
To rise and to live with decisions we make

We write from the heart and feelings express
But some remain quiet and further depress
So hope and a prayer were born for reprieve
To let us be thankful for all we receive

Love is our wanting, but so far away
Expression, our writings that slowly decay
For time casts its layer of dust and the past
And only some memories of once tend to last

We write more than speak, that’s how we express
The lines in-between are for many to guess
And somehow we’re granted reprieve from our pain
Till life again tramples and tests us again

This writing’s the blessing that I have received
The words have more freedom than I’d of believed
I write from the heart, then naked my soul
To find through the sharing I start to feel whole
