twenty eight years ago she locked it shut it away tight safe but one day she thought to feel again and the entrance was too corroded to open she banged pushed kicked and begged it would not listen with all possible human endeavor she prayed it was still locked tight God patiently watched, and every now and then in case she was listening, He called to her with gentle knocking she finally broke down and looked up ok let’s do it your way inches at a time it opened a beam of love found its way inside... |

but one day she thought to feel again Funny how sometimes, it's right there where you left it, just needs a little dusting off. |

This touched me more than I can express, I wish that I had written this for, it seems that you speak of my life. This is excellent writing and it's a keeper~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

it would not listen with all possible human endeavor she prayed it was still locked tight God patiently watched, and every now and then in case she was listening, He called to her with gentle knocking she finally broke down and looked up ok let’s do it your way inches at a time it opened a beam of love found its way inside... She was alone in her crying, dear lady... for this is so beautiful it shared the tears. *S* How many times do we pray... and determinedly go our own way? This is a powerful statement of faith... and that beam of light is a bud of hope. *S* Superb! |

jellybeans light always overpowers darkness...it just sometimes takes a hand to pull away the curtain. This is powerful yet fragile poetry of feeling...hope filled. |
