Love Faith Joy

No one ever knows if love can truly stand the test of time Can faith alone give sight to the lover blind Where is joy when trauma comes knocking at my door The love quickly flees because it doesn’t find me appealing anymore No amount of disgust or disappointment can shake these fears It was not known that love could make one cry so many tears The sun shines brightly….the trees remain still My knees are buckling under the pressure but I have a strong will Joy comes in the morning is what they say The sun rises and I still feel the same sadness that I felt yesterday I pull myself together so that I can push through the pain I look up to the heavens and beg God to open up the flood gates and let it rain As I continue on this path of loneliness I feel a teardrop on my face I hear a gentle voice encouraging me to keep the faith Love is not the only thing that’s getting me through It is faith and joy too

Dear Monica, you are within company in your pain. Some of us have pain of different nature, but pain is still the factor that hurts the heart. Be of good cheer my friend and fellow poet. The joy that comes in the morning will bring rainbows of hope. Hold on, sing a song in your heart, keep writing your words, they will give escape to what's pent up inside. God bless. Luv Joy

A sad but well written poem. So hard to face lifes hardships alone. Always remember you are never truly alone, company is only a prayer away.
