There's a silence in her laughter now That wasn't there before She doesn't seem to notice the days passing Too busy picking her heart up off the floor There's a difference in his touch It just doesn't feel the same And everywhere they look The pain remains the same They say there is a time and a place for everything I would think that doesn't include love? For love should always be present As peaceful as the white flying dove There's a moment to reflect on things A time for looking back Don't stare the past too long in the face though Or count all the things you lack Instead be grateful for what you have For in a moment it can be taken away You'll be left standing there For others mistakes though we shouldn't have to pay There's a right for every wrong A low for every high It doesn't matter what happens in life But how you plan to say good-bye Live today like tomorrow For we don't know when it's our last day And wouldn't you live your life differently If somehow you could just find your way Make the most of what God gave you Count your blessings and be glad For if you look around at others You'll find a world that is sad There's a reason that everything happens A reason perhaps you and I don't understand Ask for the the things you want kindly Never should one demand For life's greatest lessons Are found upon the pages that we write So it is your choice...be consumed with the darkness Or walk out into the sweet morning...light "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Truth and wisdom is spoken here. Excellent counsel. ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

So much widsom in this, Amy. I've heard the empty laughter, too... Sometimes things need to be held onto for awhile, other times we just have to let them go with peace, I sure know I need to work on that. Thank you for the wise reminder... Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

"There's a moment to reflect on things A time for looking back Don't stare the past too long in the face though Or count all the things you lack" and the last verse! Many words of wisdom, Amy! Enjoyed! ![]() |
