Hard To See


The beauty of life is hard to see
Radiating light like a shimmering sea

You may not see but you can feel
And deep down you know it's real

To wake up to the kiss of the sun is a blessing
Even if everything seems so very stressing

I've been looking for the roadmap to hope
Writing songs to feel like I can cope

But every once and awhile
I have to remind myself to smile

Darkness will try to keep you under
And pain may even rip you asunder

As long as you get back up you're strong
And prove it's not correct you don't belong

And as you march be sure to provide a lifting hand
To help the weak find their strength to stand

And maybe the beauty of life isn't so hard to see
Hand in hand we can radiate light like the shimmering sea

So while you can see it's truly what you feel
Surrounded by beaming faces we know it's real

Hello Christopher Gross, When depressed sometimes kit takes time to see the light at the end of the rainbow. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
