BROKEN PROMISES
There'll be a million days
go by that I'll spend
believing in people.
Not just the ones
whose lives seem blessed,
but the battered souls
behind the tears.
The ones with footprints
embedded across their hearts.
The ones whose blood was spilled
in deep confusion
and disbelief,
who bear the scars of
promises
that weren't kept,
empty words
spoken without truth
and that breaks my heart.
We should give from our souls.
Look into each others eyes
and see their hearts
reflected in our gentle
compassion,
sharing our laughter
and our tears.
There'll be a million more days
go by that I'll spend
believing in people,
and there may be nothing
anyone can do to take away
another's pain,
but we can ensure
those closest to us know
how very much we care.
