O A Troubled Soul.... Poem by Jill Ferrey

You turned to the solace of darkness
when things were baring down on you
you experienced an avalanche of human emotions
leaving your heart and soul feeling caught up in the commotion

open your mind, free you heart
move closer toward the light
carry on the constant yet grueling fight
don't give up, please don't give in

there are those out there
who really worry and genuinely do care
reach out to them as you would a life buoy
hold on for all you are worth,

for my friend this storm shall to
one day pass, and it will get brighter
be the true you, the you who is fighter
for all you really need do

is to call, beckon for a helping hand
a solid foundation for your wobbly feet to land
you will once again prevail
for i know you and you never fail

for you my friend i wish nothing but inner peace
happiness to place a smile on you face each day
smiles to brighten the darkness you feel in a big way
you have but just to call on me, my friend

know that you are not alone
for loneliness is not ours to own
we are one of many in on this earth
each one of us linked to the other

in friendship that once forged
will be a link that will never be broken
for all the words and thoughts will be shared
even those that normally would not be spoken.

Please call on me next time the darkness threatens to engulf you
don't take the world upon you shoulders,
broad as they are, this was not a load meant for you
for we all need to lighten our load and purge our hurts.

For you the world will once again smile
for you the light will once again shine
for you oh troubled friend of mine........
