A Thought To Hold Onto

As a whisper you think lost on the breeze
As a promise given always trying to please
As a seed waiting to swell and burst
As time passed sometimes seems cursed

Time gone, can never to be regained
Wishes whispered, but held back and chained
Dreams sent forth with a longing and hope
Grasping, fighting, always trying to cope.

Sun streams down there’s hope from on high
Light penetrates darkness, from bright blue sky
Whispers do reach their final destination
Not lost in tears of pain and frustration

Thoughts to lift when you are feeling blue
Thoughts to help take your hand and carry you through
The seed did burst and strives for the beam of light
Your beam did reach through the last long dark night.

Time will pass; there is no stopping the fingers
Taking us near to those dreams that still linger
Time a healer, to help and smooth a rugged road
New Year is waiting there’s help to carry the load.
