Lost deferred hope and schemes
It’s not just 'the crossroads' anymore
As if being stuck in a boat without an anchor

Silly to misconstrue the repetitive pattern
Few value an arty person and friendship return
It’s a cold cloudy day, without comfort to share
Will that blooming sun ever free me from such care

It’s raining in the morning and even at night
These tears at mealtime just don't seem right
Just need 'some positive enlightening' signposts
Each day I surrender all to Father and Holy Ghost

Many think Christians have it perfect all the time
While many lions attack us far more than a crime
Perhaps in transition, it’s a form of death and letting-go
All the readjusting alignments for bright thoughts to show

Hope Deferred

Broken promises, broken dreams
Lost deferred hope and schemes
It’s not just 'the crossroads' anymore
As if being stuck in a boat without an anchor

Few value an arty person and friendship return
It’s a cold cloudy day, without comfort to share
Will that blooming sun ever free me from such care

It’s raining in the morning and even at night
These tears at mealtime just don't seem right

Each day I surrender all to Father and Holy Ghost

While many lions attack us far more than a crime
Perhaps in transition, it’s a form of death and letting-go

Milly~
my special and very dear friend. As of late I read of sorrow, pain and tears in ur writes. You have a big beautiful heart Milly~ there are alot of people who don't like to see others succeed or be happy. Don't let these sorts of people bring u down sweet girl. You have a big bright future in front of u and ur faith in our Lord is evident and strong. May our Lord give u the strength to fend of the evils that try to bring u down. Wishing u much brighter days ahead. I'm here for u Milly~ I mean it my dear friend.
big enormous hugs to a very dear and special friend,
~*suzie Q*~
