Dance For Anne Lise

Even though it hurts to smile,
I can pretend for a little while
That everything is alright

That when I look up at the 
Cinerescent sky and think 
about my life at least

I could say with certainty
that I've never been forsaken 
by the ONE MOST HIGH.....

That I could always count 
on the sun's luminescent rays to

Break through the darkest of clouds 
and soak up my tears as if with 
warm hands could heal 
that which is silent, private and still 
Inside of me.. 

A trinket to a fellow poet for
Inspiring in me the courage
to find the good in my life 
A special dance for the sweet Anne Lise



P.S.  Thank you for always having something encouraging and uplifting to say. God Bless. ~Maddie
