Trying To Cope

Peace of mind What a treasure If we could all find That wonderful pleasure The cry of the heart That begs to be heard It’s needing a start Who will say the word? An inward peace That transcends all Hoping in love We never fall The agonizing cry Through the years No matter how hard we try Our souls still fill with fear Peace, happiness and joy That’s all we ever seek It’s really no ploy But so many are weak They give into a hurting heart They’re not sure what to do They think it’s an end instead of a start But they’ll still not try anything new Years of anguish and hurt Far too many years of pain They feel it’s easier to desert Then continue to play the game They feel life has passed them by They feel their best years are gone They don’t even know why They should even carry on You always have to at least try Only God can decide Who will live and who will die So those thoughts you have you should hide 1-15-06/RJH
