Heart's Strength
she comes here each day
in a state of dejection
waiting and hoping...
but not for long though
such is the human spirit
marked by resilience...
soon she wakes up to
face the rising sun with hope
second chance awaits...
for life does not end
where love comes to its sore death
a fresh start unfolds...

nobody told you
how to unfold your love"
