On A Journey To The Unknown

I Wait
~ Bye Sue ~

I spent years with dreams that never canme
Still, I hung on to them all just the same
With hopes that someday they would come true
Today it seems they never will come into view
It seems as though I am losing all my hope
All of this time I have managed to cope
Too many problems keep coming my way
From me, they never seem to want to stay
Sometimes I think I should just give up
Because it seems like life is just too tough
I continue to do all that I need to do
While waiting for atleast one of them to come true
I try to tell myself to hang on a little longer
That there will come a day when life is much better

It will Sue. Just hang in there and be happy you are able to greet spring. Who knows what the season will bring? hugs, Chris

Hello Sue

I felt many mixed emotions in your words but there was an element of strength there at the end.  You have many friends here who will always be here for you.  Never give up on love and hope.

Take care.......Sue

I also feel your strength woven in among your words. You are one of the most determined people I have ever known, and I know that you won't ever give up on a dream. Some dreams take a lifetime. You have proven your will long before that.
I'm glad to see your rhyming verses. Keep the pen moving!
Love

Sweet Sue, I just want to give you a great big comforting hug and a shoulder to lean on. You have been through so much but you have always managed to keep your fighting spirit. I know how difficult life can be, my own path has been very trying, but I can honestly say, that the sun does shine when you least expect it.

~ May the sun come out and shine upon your glorious head!

Loving hugs,
Linda

Dear Sue, thank you for sharing your very touching, sad poem. There is the light of hope shining in the final lines and I would say "hold on". Trust, dear one. Universe is moving to arrange everything right for you.
Love and hugs. Margherita

Sue, I don't know what to say to your heart-felt
write, except that I'm here if you need me.
And, here's a heart hug.....

An interesting poem, and one I didn't expect from a positive person like you.  I hope all is well.
