I look faults face to face with no fear <br />My soul never runs away from failure <br />There are always obstacles to encounter <br />Then promise to send me some cheer. <br /> <br />I will show you that there are tomorrows <br />Your heart will be open to dark shadows <br />Let it be your journey to discover your way <br />It is with in you that there will be no sorrows. <br /> <br />I wonder what we dream of when things don’t follow <br />Visions disappear before one awakes from darkness <br />Yearning foreshadows beckon those lost foreigners <br />It is time to wash away those ghostly shadows. <br /> <br />Tell your friends that you’re strong and free <br />Please don’t look back to what you left behind <br />Sail away to a life that is powerful and open <br />I pray for that one day you and I will both see. <br /> <br />The evening star shines brightly guiding outsiders <br />Time drifts away endlessly with fantasies fading <br />Remembrance will not close the doors for others <br />I was raised to stand tall against all strangers. <br /> <br />High spirits float in the air erasing the ever blues <br />May this be the vow spoken to fortunate encounters? <br />Morning raises promises that are with in you <br />I am the dreamer of hopes that one-day may be true.<br /><br />Monica Engeler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/courage-35/
