They will cry words of wisdom
upon lonely lips of shame
singing absent praises from the heart
which could never dull their pain.
They will carress a pillow
a substitute for the one who has gone
and bring it in close to them
for the comfort they all do long.
They will smile their fortress
though under this the heavens weep
yet I have always heard this
that strength comes from these.
They will stand at the door way
though they will not even understand
that through this door is a new begining
to begin with you must take command.
They will burden their hearts insistance
and let the blood flow free and clear
to take the first step of a long road
allowing all the pain slip from them.

~Michael,...this is so touching. It makes me stop for a few and think. Sort of fell onto me softly but with some heaviness to it as well. Lighted Way,....*sigh*. That's what it makes me do. Take care of yourself. *Peace.

Your inner strength shows well here Michael. You are right, it is there, if only everyone could see it as well as you....

I believe this is one for my library. It's what I need to read over again just now.
