Dawn Breaks

I used to write of sorrow
the pleasure of the pain
  I used to sing the blues
tears fall like waters rained
  I used to fear tomorrow
thought i'd lost my way
  Hiding from the truth
kness bending from the strain
  I used to dance in darkness
Now all of that has changed

  I found the srength to stand up straight
I dance only in the light
  My knees are bent from praying
take pleasure in doing right

  Foregone is guilt and anger
removed is hate and spite
  Replaced by love and pleasure
no more restless nights
  
  Now the scars on my arm tell the story
my lips refuse to say 
  And the scars on my heart are healing
turns out i'm stronger than the pain

We are having our first laying snowfall this morning in Springfield,Ohio. December 1,2010 what a way to enter this month. It is absolutely beautiful and finds me in good spirits. I have enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Kessie. Looking forward to reading more. Have a wonderful day. Love, Carol
