Missing Link

Another Dawn light awakens me 
to face another day
To live my life and learn from it
in every single way
The children hold tomorrow 
in hopes & dreams & tears
The world depends on children
to overcome its fears
Although we want to hide away 
tomorrow may not come
And anything the past has hurt
has been already done
No changing of the present 
the past has all now gone
We only have the future 
to overcome as one
And in this world 
I need not more than you
For without your love in my heart 
it would be torn in two
So when your found say to me 
that never you will leave
And in your eyes I'll see your love 
and therefore will believe
For its from you my brother 
I wait to fill the missing link
To show you who I am 
and how I really think
For me to give you 
the flower of love 
Is what I really need
Then we can start our lives together
Once we've planted that seed

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
