I wrote this poem for a very good friend who was having a difficult time in her marriage...I awoke one night with the words and wrote them down, read them to her the next day...she wept and asked how did I know? I told her that is was because we were kindred spirits...and sisters in Christ.

The Secret

This secret that I shelter deep in my heart,
for fear and pain I will cling and never depart.
I remember the day, the hour when,
this unspoken secret entered in.

To unclutch now, nothing would I gain.
Lonely and confused I hide all the pain.

But one day a light will filter through...
I will let go of this secret...
and live my life anew.

For now I will keep it safe in my heart,
and live for the day...
for myself a brand new start.

 Reviews of "The Secret"
Reviewed on September 17, 2006
It's funny, we just had a Impromptu Speech competition last Thursday in Toastmaster Club and I was one of the judges. The title for the contestants was "Secret", and each of them had to speak about "Secrets" for 2 minutes on the spot. Most of them did really well.

Your title has certainly caught my eyes and interest. We all have secrets that we would like to keep. Great poem indeed!
