Poem Title:
Poem
(8/17/11) There is always this thought that enters our minds Of always being left behind. What do you do when all your loved ones have gone And by yourself , you must carry on. When all hopes and dreams are dwindling away And on your knees you fall to pray. When it seems that they fall on deaf ears And you think that no one cares. What do you do when you feel empty inside And to people around you, you tend to lie. What do you do when you come to an empty house And your children are gone, and so is your spouse. What do you do when you’re always in a daze And people around you stay totally amazed Wondering how you Face the day. Then you wake up one morning and sitting At the edge of the bed, and facing the day You truly do dread. Then you feel something stirring inside A feeling so strong that it can’t be denied. No matter how bad things are, you always Have something to give- this is the reason That GOD has elected you to live. Helping people who are hospitalized And have lost all faith and hope And do not know how to cope. The elderly who can not walk And needs someone with whom to talk. A person with cancer who doesn’t have Long to live, and being able to put a smile On their face, because it’s all you can give. A child who has been in and out of hospitals Since their birth. Who can not do things that healthy children can do And you hear your spouses voice come out of the blue. Whispering in your ear, that you must share All the love that you have inside, and put smiles On those who just sit and cry. We all have a purpose in our Older years Other than waiting for death to knock on our door. So I will get myself up and out of this bed And to the hospitals I will head. I will try to help every one that I can And give them a shoulder and a helping hand. Give HOPE, LOVE , AND FAITH To all around, and when death comes you Won’t hear a sound.
