Why you cry?

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.

"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,"

such wisdom nestled in nuggets of truth...enjoyed

Beautiful and touching,   Very apropriate for one feeling lonely during the holidays,

If I may,  when refering to He or Him as I assume you mean God or Jesus,  you should capitolize the reference.

Tracey -

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,

I've known the feeling well, but found it does pass. Nice write...

Thank you all for your very kind words. I wrote this for my sister in law who is going through a very hard time.  

Also, thanks for the Correction on the upper case, You are right and I knew that, however I missed it. It is important to give the respect as deserved.

Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts.    WT.

Beautiful just plain beautiful. If you continue to write like this you don't have to worry about anyone letting you down easy.
