Nothing Wrong With me Through changing, rearranging sometimes we lose our way. We search for and we can't find the things we long to say. So we hide within ourselves and pray the world don't see. While whispering to our heart there's something wrong with me. A part of us the heart of us so filled with utter longing. Wondering what has happened to our sense of once belonging. Trying hard just to not give in but tired of the fight. We shrink back in the shadows that come with dark of night. And there our search continues in the shadows we can't see. Praying no one notices there's something wrong with me. And then one day the light will shine brighter than it did before. It seems the search is over not in darkness anymore. Reaching into our tomorrows and things still yet to be. Crying from the rooftops there's nothing wrong with me. Edwin C Hofert

LOL <3 <3 I'm going today on the Kangamanus highway. Apparently one of the most scenic routes on the East Coast and spending the night in the mountains. Will be back Mon some time. Miss you already!

Though one can relate to some, if not all of your words here, I like that the poem ends on a positive note, Ed. Take heart, better days are coming. Again, you have treated us with the kind of write that tugs the heartstrings. 7. hugs! Kim
