I Am Alone

I am alone, but I write of love as if it’s here It helps me get through the dark nights of fear I know all about the depth of love inside To share with another, that I cannot hide But, life has taken many turns, ups and downs Even at times when I may hide my frowns I am alone and I hold onto what I feel I know what is true and I know what is real Death has been something that haunts me Tragedy can break my soul temporarily So these days, watching it happen every day, Is beyond words that I can write or say But, I still dream and hope within my heart About visions I see that will never tear apart So even though life is what is, happening now, I will always survive by the shining light somehow Heidi Sands 10/7/21

A heart-rending, yet hopeful write about the power within one Heidi Sands of NH. You are a tribute to the axiom, 'Never give up hope!!' Marvelous write, my friend. Faith and Strength, Gershon
