Morning Light's Whisper As I awoke, I heard the morning whisper in my ear “What are you doing here?” “The sun is up and it’s a beautiful day” “Why do you let darkness cloak you this way?” I had no answer, as even I was tired of things the way they were “Just how do I forget?” I asked, as my vision began to blur “How do I get over a hole… in my very soul?” And this is what morning light said to me: You have take what you feel And swallow it like an oversized, bitter pill You don’t get over it Or through, bit by bit You learn how to live with the hole Though the process may be slow But in the end You won’t have to pretend You will know the pain But it won’t be an unwashable stain So get up and face the day Feel the warmth from the sun as you make your way And understand, Your strength is not in a mere man But rather, within your own hand |

The sun does shine for a reason, it is there for the taking if we so choose to bask in it's warmth. Enjoyed your message Susan~ |
