Emma
...
Sometimes when it seems that all is lost in the dark
When all the laughter is gone and our thoughts are stark
When the moon has dimmed behind the clouds
When silence reigns in rooms that once were loud
Sometimes when it seems the world has gone cold
When we are stripped down to our bleeding soul
When the sun, once warm, now beams shards of ice
When our hearts are cut as if by a sharpened knife
Sometimes when all is lost and we are our most alone
When the pain throbs down to our very bones
When all we loved seems as if it has forever disappeared
When echoes of now dim memories are all we hear
...
That is when we grow our very most strong
When in our hearts we know where we belong
When we work with all we have for our self to show
When we hold our body straight like a panther arrow's bow
That is when we keep our heads held high
When we remember that our spirit does not quit or die
When we lean on our most dear and trusted friends
When we understand that a beginning can look like an end
That is when we look inside for all we need
When we listen to our heart but take cautious heed
When we know that we will always reach for the shining sun
When we know that our growth is never really done.

very true, but it makes me think about how bad people in say africa have it. a hell of a lot worse than we could ever imagine. they must be stronger than anyone in the world.
