How can I be strong ?
when I am weak.How can I talk ?
when all I do is cry.
How can I stand tall?
when all I do is fall.

How can I smile?
When it seemed I've walked
a million miles
looking for that strength
that will make me strong
make me stand tall
make me want to be
as free as a snowflake on a leaf.

How can the world go on?
with out a glance
in my direction
yet here am I as weak
as I can be.

Those are the words I have asked myself many times. Thank you for sharing. You are never alone in the world.

Rosebud, I truly relate to your words. I have wondered so many times where my next smile would come from.  I read a poem by Jenn E yesterday that really made me smile.  If you haven't read it, check it out!!  It's called "Laugh....It's ALL GOOD!!!!!!!!
