Angel Eyes

Torn and broken Confused, forgot Missed and wanted Hopeless, distraught With all the madness, All the lies. Through all the sadness , Of no good byes . She stands strong, Never breaking down. Proving she's growing, but afraid to drown. She holds the answers To all the tears. All the questions Through all the years. She says the words To just be heard Nothing matters It's all absurd She bears feelings Emotions so deep The feelings are hidden To forever keep When the angel falls short She gives her good byes Not bearing the words But they fall from her eyes

I love this one. What is sadness with out hope. Silence is sometimes best described with tears, and tears are best dried with meaning. What matters most is you are. Smile. Love, Josh

Lisa - Very gifted in the word choice as well as the message - I think Vince said it all - I'm 48 and I have a 6 year old daughter as I watch her personality start to bloom I find myself trying to hold her back and keep my little girl - of course i catch myself and realize that I'm pretty lucky to have such a wonderful and beautiful treasure in my life - God Bless, MJ

Touching. I work with kids that this poem pretty much describes their lives. Through The Rain, Shattered Dreams and Turtle are actual poems about some of the kids. The angel never falls short. The useless adults are the ones who fall short. God Bless. Vince
