The light went out inside of my heart--my soul was empty and dark.
The fire that burned inside of me had suddenly lost its spark.
The sunshine that lights the daytime was hidden and out of sight.
The cheer was missing this afternoon--it felt like the dead of night.
Where is the joy and the revelry that came with the rising sun?
Where are the games and circus rides filled with laughter and fun?
Where is the sun and the pure blues skies that warm a heart and soul?
Why is my heart feeling cold and black like a lump of Tennessee coal?
Sometimes it seems as if the world has taken away all joy.
Sometimes life treats us like a used up rag or an old unwanted toy.
There are times when nothing can turn out right and life has passed us by.
Those are the times when it's hard to smile--those are the times to cry.
Today the sky is black with clouds and rain falls unto my head.
I will put a pillow over my face and not get out of my bed.
Before too long the sun will shine and melt away all of my fear.
Nothing lasts forever my friend--better times are near.~Jay O.
