I lie here looking at the ceiling < !signature-->Trying to understand how I'm feeling My mind is filled with many thoughts Happiness is what I had sought Once I held it in my hand But it slipped through like a grain of sand Now I try to pierce the dark With just one solitary spark Hoping against hope to light a fire No longer destined to walk the wire I close me eyes then I can see A glimpse of what tomorrow can be The future is full of promise and hope Just have to climb up the slope There warm sunshine will abound Perhaps happiness will again be found Somewhere on the other side of sorrow My thoughts are filled with dreams of tomorrow  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W.

LW~ excellent! I am delighted to read this from you. You made me smile. Thank you! Beautiful poem. Take care. Amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

LW~ It will come one day for you A light in your life will shine through maybe not tomorrow or the next Your emotions also may be put to test I'm sure in time though a new love will be yours For you in time a new love endures love Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

~LW,...Even when I just read the title,...oh,...I loved it...hope....so good to hold onto. I am so glad that you wrote this poem. It's excellent...and soooo true. I am here to climb the slope with you. Really. I know I haven't been in this room lately but it's so difficult to stay on top of everybody's work,...and I want to read it all, it was just getting tough to stay on top...I needed a lil break. Again,...I am so happy that you see that the future is full of promise and hope. Huge hug and smile for you  . Take care. *Peace. |

Great work L.W. We all need to climb that slope occasionally, and look back to where we've been and up to where we want to go, the top seems more inviting. Keep climbing, its worth every step. Olias |

As usual, a great poem penned by you. I love the lines: "There warm sunshine will abound perhaps happiness will again be found somewhere on the other side of sorrow my thoughts are filled with dreams of tomorrow." An uplifting poem, my friend. Your poem, like life itself gives us two sides of the spectrum, experiencing both happiness and sorrow. If only, everyone could read this for inspiration I leave you with this quote that my Aunt Jenny once said, "Remember too the sorrow, for it shall so enrichen the happiness and make for a memory complete." Reading your poem reminded me instantly of what she had said to me. Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Lone Wolf, my friend... this piece slipped by me the first time through, but I'm pleased to have found this part of you... for many reasons I will sigh too many here to list just why... but you indeed have struck a chord and like sunlight to Arthur's sword your soul shines in this piece and I will pray your writing never cease... yes, can you tell, I like it???

"Somewhere on the other side of sorrow my dreams are filled with the hopes of tomorrow." Loved reading this poem...it seems that way sometimes that there is an order of arrangement...there is a time for love and a time for sorrow and then a time for new hope that leads to a beautiful tomorrow...James |
