thank you...

i have laughed and yet my heart is devoid of joy...

i have held gold in my hands but it didn't shine...


i have been honest and yet i feel cheated...


i have made an effort to be nice but people are mean...


i have been running from the ghosts of my past but they always seem to find me...

i have been chasing the silver lining of my future but it is elusive...


i have cried and felt desolate and yet i found the courage to move on...


i have fallen and stumbled, and yet i moved ahead even if i had to crawl...


i picked my self up and started walking again...



and though i am in a quagmire, i see firm land on the other side...


thank you God, for holding my hand all the way...
