The raindrops streak slowly down My window to the ground Where will they finally stop Not sure about every drop They fall steadily from the cloud No reason to feel proud Of all that has passed A puddle of tears has been amassed Things said out of anger Taken seriously is the danger We both bear the guilt For the walls that were built Will they ever crumble Think we could be so humble To allow for the healing Of this awful feeling Would do anything to make it right Not having to endure another fight Let go of the hurt and pain Purify this wretched stain Imprinted upon my heart Repair it and restart Find a love so very new Fresh as the morning dew 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. Smith |

LoneWolf, Your emotions come out so clearly in these words. Wanting to do something, willing to do anything, yet not knowing what. I hope it works out. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

"Purify this wretched stain Imprinted upon my heart" This is a wonderful phrase LoneWolf, and indeed a wonderful poem. Your remorse and tears speak loudly and sorrowfully. Best wishes for a brighter day, /Kit |

The rain can be a cleansing and the sun will rise with the morning dew and shine through. |

Be strong, the rain will dry soon...and the sun will dazzle you with happiness! Beautiful poem with emotions so strongly expressed. Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Very heartfelt and emotional poem! Written so well. You are a very talented writer! ~Kelly  Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |
