Darkest Hour's Outcome By Larry Chadwick For my friend Wars have been fought in God’s name, It doesn’t change the truth, just the same. As if with words you could erase, The harm you’ve done without a trace. Evil can use a costume for disguise, But it doesn’t hide the horrible lies. The end seems to justify the means, And hence we see such horrible scenes. Heart’s have been broken in love’s name, And it doesn’t change the truth, just the same. As if with words you could erase, The harm you’ve done without a trace. And to the victor there are no spoils, Just the stains of action that soils. But when you heal from such awful pain, There is so much that’s left to gain. June 9, 2003 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Heart’s have been broken in love’s name, And it doesn’t change the truth, just the same. As if with words you could erase, The harm you’ve done without a trace. Boy does this ache, but like you said, there is much to gain once the healing takes place. I especially liked the verse I quoted, because I know it all too well.... but the outcome in the end, is what it's all about. I hope all is well Larry~ Smile with me.  |

Helen, It is twice as light when the trial is shared. Peace and courage... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (06-10-2003 12:31 AM).] |

Hi Larry! You covered so much in this poem. Who said, "What doesn't kill you, will strengthen you."? or maybe this is just a bad paraphrase. Anyway, it makes one think. Great write! Shenachie |
