Dear Diary
Dear Diary
Do you have room in here…room to spare?
Within the archives of my thoughts and desires
To listen patiently once more
Are you too weary or tired
To lend an ear today?
To all my joys and all my sorrows
All my wishes for tomorrow?
Each day I beg you please to hear me…
Spare a page for secrets, nonsense, funny stories
Perhaps I will write about a kiss
Or pensive words of someone missing…
And when my heart is heavy
With a bevy of troubles that weigh me down
I will scatter tears among your leaves
Your dated pages that chronicle stages
Of my troubled world, whether big or small
And when all of the heartache falls upon my brow
As I toss and turn when bedtime rings
With pitch black thoughts that nighttime brings
I have a page within your bindings,
So patient, kind and understanding
Who listens, while I sit and write, and pray and cope
My every thought, my dreams, my hopes
I sit beside my bedside lamp
And pour out my heart, and you drink it up
I will lock it in, and once again
Can feel the ease of comforting peace
I will shut my eyes and go to sleep ~
