The heart once broken Does not easily mend Trips over little things That may have a tragic end Just the mention of a name A glance at a hero Saying goodbye to a friend When you know there’s no tomorrow Life does have its trials Trouble never brings forth smiles I must walk for many miles As I tread on earthly ground Some are dancing, singing out Me, still crying, but trying to hum Angels stay away from darkness I, too, will look for light Seek the One where hope is found Adjust myself and take his hand Pray He helps heal my wound Grey days may turn to sunny I see how faith has grown Will not ask for the easy way With blue skies and perfect peace I want the wind and storming paths So my growth will know no ease Difficulties I learn to endure Losses, though dear, I will bear Despair no longer gets the best of me Prayer led me to the light I must stay on bended knee Stanislaus Kuperski aka Stanski November 13, 2021
