So much has passed
before my weary eyes.
So much has come and gone,
nothing takes me by surprise.

So much pain and sorrow
to wake up to and face each day.
So much hope and yearning
for the dawn of a good day.

So much is given,
only to be taken away.
So much has been lost
with a high price to pay.

So much can be made
of the days that lie ahead.
So much can be had
if the water can be tread.

Beautiful, Sasikat!  
This poem kind of leaves me speechless (sort of), I'm not too sure what to make of it--great display of emotion, or just plain great...well, either way, it's an excellent piece of work!

SAS, this is so well expressed...nice work with this one!
my friend use to say..."if there weren't any sadness...how would you know the difference or whether or not you were actually happy"...
she use to give me a headache..LOL  
but this poem reminded me of her meaning...


and this...    

 She says baby,
It's 3am I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

I love you baby... always.*

Sounds like there's been some suffering in your lifetime Sasi.  You express it very well.  And yes, the water can be tread, albeit with difficulty.

This is really touching, but life is not hopeless, when a door closes another opens..Bill
