A Cry In The Night (Joseph's Star)

by Sylvia   Aug 27, 2009


-------------------Help!
---------------Lend a hand.
----------Save me from myself.
-Erase these thoughts from my mind.
---Fill me with faith, love and hope.
----------Show me how to live.
---------------Don't fail me.
--------------------Care!

    Silvia,

    Indeed now I read it the second time I realize it is not a call on parental help, but more a dedication to a lover.
    Thanks for the explanation:)
    Indeed we all need love at every stage of our lives, that goes without saying.

    *hugs*

    I loved this Sylvia... A poem from the heart. We all feel this way I think. Lol. It could be a prayer, I dont know , but I just love how the poem has been expressed/written! Very heartfelt . We ALL need "faith, hope and love" to live our lives happily and with purpose.

    Very well written Sylvia... and a brilliant job on the challenge!
