Unchained Heart For far too long I have remained Bound by doubt, fear, and worry My heart wrapped in chains. I was afraid to trust anyone Enough to let myself get close For I knew that I would suffer; Haunted by Betrayal's ghost. But then I was given A most precious gift Freely and willingly My spirit it did lift. That gift was your friendship It is all that I need For I know that you wanted To give it to me. And so, I am trusting To give you mine in return, For I know that the warmth of our friendship Is a fire that heals, it does not burn. I will stand proud beside you If ever you need To return all the strength You have given to me. And as a friend, a companion I will be Even in your darkest hours I will never depart So, my friend, for what you've given to me Thank you from the bottom of my unchained heart.

Thank you, Cheryl! I really enjoyed the one you posted that I read earlier, too. I'm glad you enjoyed this one...It really came from the heart! Collins, James, and Marie, I thank you for all your kind words too. It really makes me feel good to have others read my work and appreciate it. I feel much relief when I am lucky enough to get it all out on paper! You guys are the best! Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

I was afraid to trust anyone Enough to let myself get close For I knew that I would suffer; Haunted by Betrayal's ghost. I have one question - are you writing about me?! This is such a wonderful tribute to your friend. Absolutley beautiful. The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition. |

This poem is the true expression of friendship. I have been through a similar thing to you, I really relate to this poem in a big way. Thank you for sharing this gem with the Passions family. Love and hugs, Lizzie  |

Chains are loosened and he rises above the pain, greeting life, to live once more. Beautiful expression of the release that comes from true friendship...nicely done Terry. |
