I know when every bough will break,
and when the sadness falls,
when crying stops and madness waits,
I know, I've seen it all.

On every leaf-strewn avenue,
among the lamppost's mellow light,
she hides the wasted dreams from view,
to linger gently in the night.

Upon a yellowed page, I found,
a diary streaked in fear,
and there I knew that I was bound,
to carry every tear.

And hold the hand that held me true,
the warmth and fresh sweet scent,
of honeysuckle 'fore the dew,
an angel's smile, my recompense.

Oh, this is hauntingly lovely - so filled with sorrow - I've been there, and your powerful words moved my inner soul. You put it beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome to Passions.

What a stirring piece you've entered this family with -

'Upon a yellowed page, I found,
a diary streaked in fear,
and there I knew that I was bound,
to carry every tear.'

What tenderly moving thoughts.
Welcome again ... I know you'll enjoy your stay
and we will love having you here.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

thanks all of you, I love the forum you're all very kind. I've been reading Michael Anderson for months, he's my inspiration, and I sure do miss him I hope he returns. < !signature-->
