Love is never far away <br />It's never in hiding <br />When we live without it <br />We feel like we're sliding <br /> <br />We think that love is gone <br />That it simply passed us by <br />When we sit to ponder <br />Then all we do is cry <br /> <br />We thought we found that person <br />That would love us so true <br />But then before you know it <br />It's like they've forgotten you <br /> <br />You've given so much time <br />Plus all the energy you can <br />You're not really sure <br />When the heart aches began <br /> <br />You only know for too long <br />Your needs have been ignored <br />You've tried everything you know <br />You've even prayed to the Lord <br /> <br />But nothing seems to work <br />Nothing gets their attention <br />You finally decide this is it <br />There no use to even mention <br /> <br />That you live unsatisfied <br />Many things are unfulfilled <br />It seems the more you say <br />The more you feel the chill <br /> <br />Long ago you realized <br />That this love was at it's end <br />Not only have you lost a lover <br />Along the way you've lost your friend <br /> <br />In your heart you believe <br />That true love does exist <br />You know when you find it <br />You will not resist <br /> <br />For far too long you've been alone <br />Too many lonely and cold nights <br />You know that somewhere out there <br />A heart beats for you that's right <br /> <br />It may take time to find them <br />How long who can really say <br />But you know deep in your heart <br />The world holds for you a brighter day <br /> <br /> <br />11-15-08/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-brighter-day-3/
