Elusive Graspings For Happiness

Trying so hard to see the good in humankind, Just praying for that butterfly's fervent caress Disappointed again and again and feeling so blind, Sadness is but a blink away from life's true joy The pathetic thing is others need love as much as you, So many you've trusted have treated you just like a toy Yet deep seeded hatred is so hard to see through, Remember compassion can help to clear one's mind It takes every ounce of faith to avoid the valley of the blue, We must help each other or paradise we'll never find Copyright © 2014 Robert William Gruhn - All Rights Reserved "A poem to me is the essence of any thought, Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky. It can fly like no other bird to places never seen, Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place." © 2014 Robert William Gruhn
