FURY VS. PAIN

she couldn't look at him

he hurt her

not once

not twice

it was a cycle

of aches and pains

rotating in her mind

slowly, so slowly

her heart turned to ice

she tried to forget

she wanted peace

but agony replaced

the one part of her

that ever was alive

turning the other way

she desired to run

see where life would lead

but she couldn't move

she carried a part of him

that she couldn't turn loose

that night she wept sorely

pillow soaked with tears

she wanted the pain

to go away

she wanted to live again

she desired to rid

of the anger built inside

but it didn't happen

not overnight

maybe it never would

as she looked into

the morning mirror

she felt the raging storm

the battle of good vs. evil

fury against pain

she saw a stranger

a woman she didn't know

one day....

maybe one day...

the two of them

would get to know

each other once again

and if and when

that day comes

she finally would find peace

HELLO

he came to the door

at just the right time

a tall, handsome man

in search of work

and a place to lay his head

she noticed his eyes

bluer than the skies

the perfect smile

heart enduring

she felt it right away

sometimes we are blessed

with a stranger

that crosses our paths

one sent to us

rather a gift from God

a moment of fate

whatever you decide

to call it by name

but no matter the case

we tend to fall in love

a stranger in the night

the handyman

or perhaps the milkman

love is splendid

a gift we hold,  cherish

this was one of those times

in a woman's life

she never forgets

a stranger that captures

her heart and soul

and to think...

it all began

with a hello

ALL TOGETHER NOW

let us join together

hold hands in prayer

may we break bread in peace

and in ever loving care

let us join together

from greatest to the least

may our hearts be merry

may happiness ne'er cease

all together now

let our souls fly free

let us join together

many blessings shall we see
