She Walks She walks along this lonely street no one to dry her tears to massage her tired feet or calm ever present fears Seeing life through tainted heart making everything gray Alone, her life, anew to start Always searching for a way But life goes on no matter what That fact she cannot quell Memories ne'er to be forgot' Within her heart they dwell So she keeps walking this lonely street Keeps searching to find her way Every night she lies down to sleep She prays tomorrow's a better day  Thanks to Troy and netswan for your help with this. I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Hi Jeffery! My friend I'm here always to give a company. I know how difficult it's to go alone always but I carry with me a dream of meeting her and showing her how much I love her and meeting her would be the best moment in my life. Till then I'll persevere. Sincerely A_L |

And so she walks with head held high no reason now, for her to cry... For everything there is a reason, and a time, alas, for every season. No need to understand it all - she dries her eyes and walks so tall believes that someone high above, is guiding her to find true love. He knows what's best, and he knows all although sometimes we stagger, fall Just trust in him, to lead the way and know you'll find a brighter day. Thank you Jeffrey for this. I know it had nothing to do with me, but somehow it inspired me to see myself in it, in a positive way. Thank you so much. I found a bit of peace in it. Yours is very lovely....

Thanks everyone, this poem was inspired by something a friend of mine is going through. It breaks my heart to know she is going through such a terrible time, but at the same time I feel that she has accepted things for what they are and has decided to move on with her life. Praying tomorrow's a better day. Thanks again for the kind words. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

This gives me a feeling I have had before..even just recently..when you feel like you are in between your life...as if every thing is happening around you..and you are not participating...as if you have no control...a time of change..James |

WOW Jeffery, an excellent poem. It is tough to see loved ones going through hard times and not being able to fight beside them or to hepl improve their situation. Though alot of time just being there and listening makes all the difference and give that person the strength to continue. I hope your friends problems have been resolved. |

I know this was written for a she but I can say I certainly relate to it from a man's vantage point Jeffrey. Tomorrow has to be better than today - that's for sure... Here's to a tomorrow that may hold hope, truth and sunshine. Michael |

Sad, expressive, genuine feelings. It is only a true friend who really feels the emotions of others. Your friend is lucky. 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
