Ghosts

Why should pain be so blue?
My face has turned a whitish hue!
Maybe I'm afraid of living 
Sure doesn't seem my heart's been giving!

"Ghosts" of the past can haunt us in the present. And it does take courage to continue living in a world filled with war and pain. But I can tell by this poem that your heart is "giving" more than you think. Being able to share your thoughts with others and inspire them is quite a gift that you give to readers. Love, Carolyn
