Oh Never

Never has this heart felt the stab of such cruel pain.

Thought once I to withstand any dark and pouring rain.

I long so much to laugh once more with Leah by my side.

Yet there is such sadness when I look into her blue eyes.

I have prayed for strength to keep all things bright and full of joy.

I try; I struggle and yet I feel that I fail to this my minds ploy.

I am such a weak little man as my heart is too tender for many to understand.

Yet somehow this day the sun still did rise and spread its warm blanket across the land.

So if the sun can go on; then I suppose that so can Leah and me.

Despite the rage of life’s dark storms we will together someday be free.

Therefore I conclude with this synopsis of this little mans inward pain.

I look to Him up above for the coming of the latter day rain.
