So many tears I have inside That disappear and try to hide But they are stored and lie in wait To quench my hell and ponder state So many moments to myself The thoughts of left upon the shelf To gather dust and just grow old For that seems how the years unfold The joys are few and far between Until a verse within is seen It’s then a smile does cross my face And I am in that perfect place Hell may come and give me grief But words as healing give relief So one on one they join in dance Before I take another chance |

So many tears I have inside That disappear and try to hide But they are stored and lie in wait To quench my hell and ponder state.... You let it out! ARCTIC WIND |

The joys are few and far between Until a verse within is seen It’s then a smile does cross my face And I am in that perfect place I like to see you smile Rick! love RDB Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |
