A Seed Of Hope

Oh the heart is such a fragile thing, 
It lives, it breathes, it can feel the sting. 

It holds on, like there is no tomorrow, 
to every thought and every sorrow. 

It absorbs, it contains,
all the hurt that remains. 

It's patient and kind,
just biding it's time. 

It waits for the day, 
you are ready to say:

"I can't take anymore!"
as you curl up on the floor. 

"Are you ready then to finally heal?"
I feel a presence near me kneel. 

A love surrounds me as I lay on the floor, 
I can not deny the essence of so much more. 

More than my human eyes can see, 
but a knowing deep inside to have faith and believe. 

I feel the breeze of an angel's wing, 
my heart beats in response, it wants to sing. 

I have felt this presence long before, 
when I truly believed that there was more. 

I feel a tear roll down my cheek, 
and turn my head to take a peak. 

"I am ready to heal," I whisper back,
"I can not take another attack.

My mind can be so cruel you see, 
it truly does not believe in me. 

It says I'll never be enough, 
my heart is too gentle, and the world too tough.

It doesn't believe me when I say I'm willing to try, 
it laughs instead, and makes me cry.

The mind says such hurtful things, 
I can no longer bare the pain that it brings."

I feel the touch of the Angel's wings,
and once again my heart wants to sing.

I feel so alive, 
with this presence by my side. 

"My child, that mind is powerful indeed, 
but your heart carries something special, it carries a seed. 

A seed you can plant wherever you go, 
a gift from the creator, that he has bestowed.

This is no ordinary seed, 
it was gifted to those who truly believe. 

This seed contains the knowledge of hope, 
it will give you all you need to cope.

Hope can transfuse the energies you face,
the darkness and negativity is defused where its placed.

Hope never gives up, it only becomes stronger,
the thoughts of the past, the fear, has power no longer. 

Hope brings with it a light you see, 
to penetrate the darkest corners within the mind and put it at ease. 

For the darkness was never to be feared, 
their secrets in stillness are to be revered.

Hope reminds you that you never journey alone, 
your guides and angels are here to catch those stones.

To remind you that you are so deeply loved, 
to protect you with an armor that fits like a glove.

To give you the strength you need to carry on, 
to take away the pain, so you can be strong. 

It is a love like no other, 
and it's a gift available to all sisters and brothers."
