To Get Through
4 February, 2007
Author: Shan
If I poured my heart in this one..
If I just let it all out..
Would It get through to you?
To him, her? To Anyone?
Would it be so hard?
To reach soul and heart?
If I wasn't me?
Suppose I'm someone else?
How could it be..
People are so careless and mean
What will it take
To give the world some self esteem
Am I just living a dream?
Tell me good Lord,
If we may pray our slate clean
Am I thinking straight?
Please prove that cruelty can break

| shan (65.29.54.133) -- Tuesday, February 6 2007, 02:38 am thank you terrie*! :-) that means a lot to me. a real lot. Domino effect is right on.. one person at a time.. and realizing that no matter how long it just MAY take to reach through ONE person.. it's never pointless to try.. even if it's not THAT one person that "get's it" someone else may get something from it... oh the joys of heart and soul! I'm glad you enjoyed reading mine! :-D |
