Escapes

Motivational Series #14 *Inspired by a song I heard Escapes There are all kinds of escapes, to numb the pain To hold back the tears from pouring like rain It may be alcohol, drugs, sex or food Anything one may find, to alter the mood Maybe it is the phone, texting or to blog Things that may end up keeping the mind in a fog All of it there, handed on a silver platter To choose from, thinking this is what will matter As choices are made, the beauty is lost Waiting to be seen, as deadly lines are crossed Each day the soul is captive, unable to feel Slowly losing touch with truth, of what is real But inside everyone, there can be hope To live life fully, with burdens to cope There is no easy path, to travel alone Blessings come with trust and faith – Let yourself be shown – Heidi Sands 3/10/19
