Hope Outweighs Sorrow

Falling in love's magical; your heart feels like it's on fire. And your ears only hear hope, not the words of a liar. When trust begins to weaken, hope shores it up with more lies. And an outpouring of pain replaces truth as it dies. Fear gathers up nagging doubts as they morph into goodbyes. And failed dreams discreetly drown in tears spilled from crying eyes. Let time carry you away; to where hope outweighs sorrow. For, like a river, life flows towards a new tomorrow.

O there it is the recipe for lessons learned the hard way "And dreamers hear only hope not the words of a liar." Well done, Emile.

I am SO sorry I missed this one yesterday... BUT...with it being POTD, I've not missed out. You've captured the epitome of happiness by falling in love, which then falls into the abyss of pain. Hope saves us all. So well done, Emile.

Hmmmm! It's love alright because in the end you do not ask the river to carry her away but to happiness for her while you are standing in your tears. Great rhyme, plot, scheme, and stresses. Good one Emile.

Oh Emile, this is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The honest content in your carefully chosen rhyming words. Comparing Time to being a river is brilliant! You have chosen words that anyone can relate to, even those who do not favor poetry. You have expressed so well the human heart, in and out of love, and the deep feelings that make love so magical. I dearly love this poem and am fav'ing it. #7

Connie, you always make me feel good about myself, and for that I can't thank you enough. Emile.
