Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

In the Air

Silent sorrow deep within a heart so full of pain.
No one will see when you're alone and tears begin to rain.
The weight of human pride is more than any man can bear.
When loneliness won't let you know what it is like to share.

But then one day the clouds begin to dissapate and fade.
The sun comes out and you realize that you have got it made.
And with this heart so full of hope.
You know that God has been right there to always help you cope.

So the question is, what will you do with this lighter shade of blue?
This is not a quiz, but it's nice to know that angels are there for you.
So when the depths of hell rise up and burn you at the stake.
Let their love remind you that it's not all a mistake.

Now that yesterday has gone away and brought you here to stay.
Theres nothing left for you to do but kneel down and pray.
And hope that they will let you know that they are always there.
And to know they truely care, you only need breath in the air.

Voahanitriniaina Rabary-Andriamanday October 24, 2012 at 7:01 AM Very much the way we are believing in God in my family. It's a very pleasant rhyming and rhythming swing; I love this poem, Robert! Are you sure it is also for sale in the garage? Your very first poem on the soup? Your first best souvenir, perhaps? If I take it, well... When it's gone, it's gone for good, Robert! In their new home, your truthful verses will find the right place in the right hearts. Thanks for sharing! Ciao, Hanitra
