To Love Is To Live
“It's hoped that for every broken heart, there is a candle shining in the dark.“
A young girl lost in her secret hideout
Wondering what life on earth's all about
Living in the fear of angry outbursts
No I love you's, just unkind words that hurt.
Comfort only found in her mother's arms
She who suffered from the abusive harm
A mother doing the best that she could
In what her daughter never understood.
A child who never had the strength to try
Rising above troubled conflicts and fly
Illness struck a tender stage in her life
Which added to the confusion and strife.
Still she plodded on somehow, day by day
Slowly finding herself along the way
The years passed, tho’ those bad memories stayed
Souvenirs of those long fraught early days.
Then one sunshiny day, out of the blue
Her handsome prince charming came passing through
Now she flies above heartbreak of the past
Clasped onto wings of the love found at last.
“Keep the love light burning, whilst young hearts are learning.
For from love children know, beautiful people grow.
