Seeking Hope

When I look in your eyes I can see
The man that you were meant to be
But also I see the shadow of pain
Which washes your soul in silent rain
And although I long to hold your hand
And tell you that I understand
I feel that you’ll never be free
Of the sorrow that coats you in misery

When I look within I can see a light
It shines there in your soul so bright
But sorrow clouds your heart with fear
And makes your days seem dark and drear
Even though I want to help you see
The light that glows eternally
I can’t believe you’ll ever let go
Of the fear that you have come to know

When I look at you I see love divine
It’s there within you all the time
But you’ve shut your eyes and cannot see
Its light and hope shine constantly
So although I want to help you cope
You can’t acknowledge there’s still hope
Because a heart that lives in fear
Will never be able to hold hope near

Happiness lives within its there for you
And if you seek it out you’ll find its true

Marsha


Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Time are sides of two, Ying/Yang
Hope/Despair , you hold hope to give
As time turns it good he have you hold hope for him

I feel like I have read the "book of wisdom".  Beautifully done and words that I can relate to.  Enjoyed very much.

But sorrow clouds your heart with fear
And makes your days seem dark and drear

We're both aware I'm not a he
But these lines could have been for me. *S*

Beautiful work as always, my friend... it's good to see you posting!

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

*tickling* at MarshaLove~
This ENTIRE MONTH brings so many wonderful memories of our gathering ... I think EVERY DAY of September should be in celebration of those special moments remembered~
LOVE YOU Girlie~

WOW!!! Words that were taken right from my very thoughts. Been reading my mail? hehe
It's nice to see my thoughts written in front of me. I can't ever seem to get them out this way. Thank you for sharing. I know someone just like this, but I don't think he will ever see. It's so sad to see someone suffer like that, and feel helpless to make them see the light. And what makes it worse is (he) is such a delight of a person himself when he's not so deep into the sorrow and sadness. One of 2 saddest things I have ever exp'd in my life to see these delightful people this way.
