Its Ok

Sometimes the walls crumble, and the cold wind whipps across our tender heart.
Sometimes the fight against the tears is lost... and water falls to the floor
Sometimes the light dies... and darkness begins to hold us...

But its ok...
Because... Because its ok.
Because a heart is there to feel
Because the tears are there to feel
Because without the dark how will we ever see how beautiful the light is.

Sometimes the walls crumble
Sometimes the tears fall
Sometimes the light dies
Sometimes
But every other time...

Your walls are strong, and the foundations are solid, you soldier through the pain
Your tears do not fall, but the rivers of living water from your heart pour on to those who are parched
Sometimes the light dies
So you can shine

That's so beautiful. It's like the poem is saying bad things happen, and just because you need to cry, doesn't mean you're weak.

You always have such amazing posts :)

Hey Trent, if u are at school in the next few days come and see me or flick me an email. I have news. U will probably just be 'oh yeah', but credit where credit is due - hint, hint.
PS I like your poetry. I really like the one about someone else doing your 'job'.

interesting...kind of like food for the stomach and stomach for the food, kind of life light for the darkness and darkness for the light.

There's always a good and bad effect to something...we should be able to see both in life
