Hope In A Bottle I wish I had life to do over just one more time You can bet no one could take what God wanted me to keep I'd be solid and strong beyond any great wind For fear would then reside in eternal sleep... I know of nothing but heartache some days it seems There hasn't been a wish unwished for on any hanging star I can't seem to shake peace by the hand anymore For any hopes I have remain in a small child proof like jar... Hope in a bottle is what I call my only sane way For the individual pieces of hope help me through each day I am free from the hurt for many hours on end And, when it seems to die off I get out that bottle again... I can't rely on the world to help learn to smile For the world just keeps letting me down Either I expect too much from the world that I live within Or, the world just isn't enough with this sadness I've found... But, I run, I do, to my nearest comfort zone Place my faith in what I swallow for some light I give time, just long enough, for my hope to kick in Then it takes me unconditionally to a much better height... I know the way of the world isn't what this bottle can do But, I have no other way to ease this thinking of you I want to remember, I do, but without all the tears And, allow this hope in a bottle to bring you happily here...

Hello Saunni This was so very beautiful and I could relate so much to what you have written. I often wonder if there is any light at the end of this dark tunnel, so much sadness and grief is all too much to bear. We need a ray of hope to ease our troubled minds. I hope the sun shines on you and warms your heart and brings you some happiness. Take care.......Sue Suetang |

Saunni~ 'Either I expect too much from the world that I live within Or, the world just isn't enough with this sadness I've found...' Sometimes life gives us great expectations ... somedays it seems to take them from us~ Peace and *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

A sad tale! It's been my experience that there's not much of anything to be found in a bottle! Take care! "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |
