A Deep Reflection

If
you looked
in my eyes
what would you see?
Would you see the pain
that I have always known?
If you look upon my words
the pain is clearly written there
but it is mingled with all the love
I still have in my heart though it's been crushed.

The difference between this and some of your earlier pieces is the hope... despite sadness and disappointments the positive comes shing through! God bless, Keith

And, actually, I hate to see any pain that You have endured, or still do endure-for, it sincerely makes my heart sad~for as I have said, "You" have come to mean very much unto myself!!!~And yet, I love to see "Your Priceless Hearts" joyous times!!!~For they 'Always' bring joy unto my own heart for "You" dear lady!!!....{Cont}

Wow~I could feel "Your Priceless Heart & Soul" within this deepened and sincerely expressed write here "Beautiful & Precious Robin!!!"~Looking into "Your Brightened Eyes," or "Your Lovely Face," would probably never show, the life you have known; both bitter and sweet!?~Yet, "Your Words," are the blessed vessel from which we find these things....{Cont}

The voice in this piece speaks with such clarity, assured of where they have been and where they are going. Love the pain and emotion in the piece..I know its weird to say I love the pain, but the pain makes the poem work..Good work Robin. Chris.
