Wave of Emotions

Riding the wave of emotions
through the paths of life
Can often bring things to you
that can hurt you and leave scars
or draw from you tender devotions

Love holds you like a warm embrace
Taking away those hurtful words
or the stings, that others can cause
It soothes your heart and erases fear
As it guides you to a better place.

thanks for reading my recent post. I try to give each one a piece of my heart. Yes love helps heal many hurts though some never find it the way they should.

Love will always guide you to a better place, regardless of what you once did face. This was beautiful and uplifting. Nicely expressed

thanks so much for reading my poem I appreciate your kind comment about it. I'm trying to write things to lift up instead of rip life apart.

true. Though we all see and hold pains in our lives many of us can rise above it and find hope . I've seen my shares of pain and sadness in many ways, but love has always held me together instead of breaking down so far. Emotions are some things that will come through life like rollercoasters. Sometimes scaring the mess out of us with all the twists and loops, but if we hold on we can survive and learn from the things that come along.
