LONELY HOURS
Lonely hours filled with despair
Bringing such thoughts as “No one cares”
Who in this world is there to turn to
When everyone seems distant and reluctant to share
Lonely hearts cry out for fear
Though no one listens, no one cares
Shadows come falling, how they linger
But shadows are lonely, they hover and scare
Lonely feelings gripping the heart
Tearing and shredding each lonely part
One drop of hope is all it needs
To mend and uplift this sorrowful heart
Painful hours are not forever
There is hope—that gladdening quiver
That somewhere, somehow there comes joy
Like a rainbow and sunshine, a shining halo
*******
REMIND ME OF YOUR FACE
Your face has faded from my vision
The face I see no more
Bring back the memories we once shared
The joys that are untold
Your eyes once glistened and showed love
What do they feature now
Your smile was cheerful and brought warmth
And glee to all around
I need a glimpse to be assured
That face is as before
Come now, my love, before too late
Remind me of your face
*******
AND THEN YOU CAME
Brokenhearted
Battered and bruised
Bearing the agony of losing
Bright tomorrows that never were
Burning desires turned to ashes
And then you came
Life goes on
Each tomorrow is brighter
And the fire keeps burning each day
You are the answer to my prayer
