Carrie Richards Poet Quintain (English)

Change of Heart

Scars upon the heart grow deeper
With every loved one taken from me
So lonely as the weary weeper
I have learned acceptance frees me
to make my peace with destiny

Some tears will wash away the pain
along the footpaths I have climbed
I will persevere and then regain
a willingness to re-design
my attitude, and cherish time

I feel the depth of your words...Yes, what more can be done than accept and cherish the moments we have. So lonely as the weary weeper...what a line...pregnant with meaning.
