NOT ALL
Not all were smiles,
not all was rain
Not all was everything,
not even the same
Not all was sunshine,
nor was it storms
Not even light,
could stay pass twilight
Darkness came,
light faded out
Time was one thing,
I could not stop
Hope was there,
not always bright
Faith was there,
to see the light
Love came,
showed me pain
Sorrow said,
I feel the same
Care came,
said all right
I'll show you love,
in a different light
Happiness
had its joy, in spurts
Laughter came,
covered up hurting
Feelings felt,
said I'll stay
Where am I,
if I leave today?
I'll have no companion,
to share the hurt
Nor love to find,
the treasures unearthed.
A Poeatreeman
Suffering is the loss of all
Cares to know what love's about
Heart will let you feel it all
Pain is there for care to see
Tears to let you wash the soul
Love to keep it all from dying
Sorrow if I lose it all.
