ALWAYS TOMORROW

~This poem was written by my boyfriend D, who gathered these thoughts in jail~

There's a light at the end of the darkest roads
And a rainbow in the grayest of skies
But to find the destiny behind all your woes,
You first must open your eyes
In my life, there's been countless mistakes I have made
And I regret that it's too late to change each one
But day after day the bad memories fade
So I look toward the moments to come
Though the battlefield scars still remain deep within
The courage for war is still here
It will take more than they have to make me give in
Because I refuse to let myself live in fear
God did not place me here in order to fail,
He did not place me here, expecting me to just wander
So they can put me through hell, they can throw me in jail
It won't kill me, but it will make me stronger
So now I look around, at the generations younger
And I recognize the problems they engage
I just hope they hear the music, instead of the thunder
That I heard when I was their age
To those young and frustrated, keep your heads up
Remember where there's joy, you'll often find sorrow
And when times get tough and you get fed up
Remember that there's always tomorrow

I must say that the "thoughts from jail" part is what caught my eye. Your boyfriend has some real talent. I hope things are good with you two now. And i definately hope that whatever it was that put him there before...won't put him there again. Best of luck to you both. Love Always ~*~Jessica~*~

~*~Why is it that love always starts with a hug, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear?~*~
