My eyes are red, from tears I cry, I cry for the things I let go of I cry for change that must come my way I have to let go to achieve my freedom that belongs to me I cry a river and yet this river leads to better circumstance Yet I cry at having to say goodbye to what I have, I must move on and change because sometimes change is what we must do. It's not easy to climb this mountain but it must be done sometimes your heart cries out and without a doubt you know that change is on the way to a newer and brighter day Somehow you just know that you know Tears will come this I'm sure but joy comes after all the tears For me I guess it's time to make a way, change only begins when I'm willing to start and so with this I'll start a spark and achieve more than I ever wanted to be but sometimes it's just to easy in this comfort zone Alas I go on this journey onward but still with tears in my eyes |

I find it very bizarre that everyone is reading my mind tonight, but, that is the most appropriate thing I could have read right now! That was written beautifully! Thank you so much!  sp |

thank you snowpants, believe me I understand! It's so hard so I wish you luck, just keep me in your thoughts as well because even though I know I must it's still very sad, to make a change. |

thank you Lonewolf, I hope that one day soon I will feel the gentleness of the stars, and the happiness flowing from the heavens, I thank you so much for the poem it truly touched my heart, I can just picture the ocean, walking there under the stars with the fullness of the moon, such tranquility.. |

RoseBud~ 'change only begins when I'm willing to start' Start this day - Change brings new mountains in the horizon, waiting for breathtaking climbs. Change brings new rivers to be navigated with joyous adventures. Change brings a new sunrise on another glorious day. Challenge the change eagerly, hon ... you've new adventures to be met. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Rosebud Girl, go ahead an initiate that spark for change. Change is usually for the best. With those tears in your eyes, I'm sure they will fall in the appropriate place to water your roots, and you'll bloom as big and beautiful as ever. Garfield |

Oh, I just love this one!!! I've often thought how strange it is that I've tried to hold onto something comfortable, even though I know the new change will be so much better. And, yes.....the tears are there, too! Wonderful job of writing here! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

thank you so much all your words are very reassuring to me, still very scarey, but I know I must make a change in my life. Day by day, little by little, but there will be a change, as for what I'm talking about.....my job I have now I have had for a long time, now I've decided to move on. For lots of reasons I must leave. |

Change brings on new hopes new dreams new loves but most of all change MEANS leaving what has brought so many tears of sadness and walking toward the tears of joy as with each step the heart becomes healthier. |
