    Longing

    Longing


    So many good friends
    Have come and gone
    Like the days and nights,
    Of years gone so long

    Leaving empty spaces
    Where our hearts
    Once filled with warmth,
    Like Sunshine upon our face

    Yearning for solace
    Left alone to linger
    Longing for all that once was, 
    Obsessing for life,as a child, younger

    Gone are the days
    That we once knew
    Happy and carefree
    Problems, very few

    Tender, impressionable
    We soon learned in a way
    That broke our hearts,
    Made our feelings fray

    Yet, still, hope grew
    Anew in our hearts
    Only to be stricken
    Again, broken into parts

    Will it ever end?
    Will pain ever depart
    Like those friendships that once
    Were tethered to our hearts?

    Pleading for mercy,
    Pausing for love.
    Gentle souls caressed
    With blessings from above

    NO, nothing will last.
    Be it joy or sorrow
    So accept Life as is...
    It is tomorrow

    You have provided us with a window to peer into the past........we all see things that could have been, and might have been....but, in the end, we are happy with life and its dreams.........................g
