Array ( [sid] => 128037 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => In Times of Struggle [time] => 2006-11-10 06:28:15 [hometext] => There is a place I go when I need strength, There is always someone I can turn to. [bodytext] => Then I thought what dreams I had
That made me feel so terribly bad
I shuddered as thoughts captured me
Blindly thinking where should I be

A glimpse of joy in my sight
Used to last me all the night
Now the need to bask in light
A glimpse of joy no longer right

The empty feeling in my heart
Will come as the day does start
Memory of hope just a hint
Like a spark from stone of flint

Gone the rock for my fire
I search the sky ever so higher
Only to see blue scattered with white
In my search to find true light

The rains then came to wash the smell
Sodden wet I began to dwell
Thank you God from you I see
I am the person I need to be.

Only to see blue scattered with white

Your writing has very deep-n-life changing quality's.
In other words when your pen walks it talks.
big smiles,
