Listen A scream so filled with pain Frustration, disappointment Yet there is silence. It is not for your ears. Still, you hear it Guilt tugging your heart. You want to run To believe you don’t need But you do. Tears weep from your eyes Unknowing they are mine. Your soul knows what your mind does not For we are joined. It matters not the time Nor the distance Love will quiet the fear Bonds sure to strengthen Thru trust and patience Someday will come When from within your soul You begin to listen. 5/15/06 E.H.
