Writing Anyway

I need to make a happy one It’s hard when your heart is pouring out gloom Like water gushing from a spring It leaves no room for happiness I need to make a joyous one It’s hard when your mind is so concentrated on the sadness Like blood spilling off a victim’s body There seems no place for joy I need to make an inspirational one It’s hard when everything’s just a blur Like a newborn infant dying in your hand There’s no room…no place…no hope I wish you were here Oh little one I’ll cradle you close even as death encloses around you I can’t make a positive one But I will write anyway

Thanks Eve. I remember writing this one about a baby bird that passed away on my hand. It was a sad day for me. This was years ago. Sending love. <3 ~Laura
