I HEARD MY SADNESS WAITING FOR ME <br /> <br />I heard my sadness waiting for me <br />In words I had never said before- <br />Life has its own melodies <br />But I am old, my breath is short- <br /> <br />I listen and I know the truth <br />The Time Behind is far too great <br />I will live out the time ahead <br />In Love and Kindness not in hate <br /> <br />The years remaining <br />I vow shall be <br />Years of Love and Poetry.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-heard-my-sadness-waiting-for-me/
