Once

Once the saddness,
covered my face,
once my heart,
felt such hate.

Years did come,
and years did go,
but happiness inside,
could never grow.

Though I pretended,
everything was fine,
my heart was broken,
and my eyes were blind.

The winds of change,
came howling through,
I saw the real person,
that was really you.

Now my life,
has taken a turn,
I'm finally free,
although I was burned.

Once I cried,
for yesterday's pain,
now I am grateful,
everything has changed.

Hi Christy many of us have had our own experiences in our life time that we will never forget due to the heartbreak that we felt and at the time we may have felt like our life here on earth was done because we no longer wanted to be around but as time went on and the years went by ever so swiftly we no longer felt the same way because father time was able to heal us, sure we may never forget what happened but at least we are able to forgive and move on, (to be continued)

Well I don't know what happened I can only guess, I'm just really happy that you are posting again. You were the first to welcome to the soup and I consider you a very good friend. Prayers do get answered. God Bless my friend. Ron
