With passing months
The days grow short
But even as the sun sets
each and every day
I watch with wonder
Knowing that happiness
Holds dear in my life

Once cold and lonely
My heart hardened
By the winter snow
So many times have I known
The bitter chill of loneliness
My heart cast aside

But now, so strange as it is
Something started to grow
Deep inside my hollow shell
A flame, so small at first
But slowly growing until my heart
Becomes awash with flame
the flames of love and joy

Reaching out for hope once lost
For joy long since forgotten
the winter has come
but my heart feels not its chill
only warmth of happiness fills my heart
because of someone who cares for me


Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

All we really need is to know someone cares....
