Hopeful Heart

Love it, Hopeful Heart! You could turn that into a kids' song and make a mint.

Thankyou Heather, it would make quite a catchy song haha

How come my rainbow is just shades of gray...

Because you havn't chosen to see all the good in the world. The beauty. The colours. And until you do, you will always see shades of grey.

Beautifully put. And should two closing two lines really come true, at some point, poetry would be redundant, at it isn't.... Thank you.

No thankyou. Thankyou sincerly for apreciating what I write. xo

Battered woman

When you going to learn

He doesn't love you

Your on your own

The beatings hurt

The scars ain't gone

But sooner or later

Your soul will be torn

What's it going to take

For you to just leave

One last hit or until

You can't breathe

Battered woman

I know what your thinking

It's your fault for what he's doing

You blame yourself

Over and over again

You ask yourself

Will this abuse ever end

He's going to keep doing it

It's all up to you

You just have to gain the courage

To move on and start new

It's not going to be easy

Take it one day at a time

The hurt will subside and you'll finally have

A PIECE of MIND.

You have to see the world through rainbow colored glasses,

My mother once said to me,

Because if you don’t, the world is plain,

But with them on you see…

The colors in the sky, instead of just the blue,

The rainbows in the clouds, shining there for you,

But pay attention now, cause this is also true…

It’s possible to see, the colors of LOVE too...

What is love? I asked my mom,

Oh honey I hope you see,

Love is everything around you,

Starting with you and me.

Love can be your kitty curled up at your feet,

Love can be your teddy bear, you even named him Pete.

But love is also Mom and Dad, brothers and sisters too,

It can also be Mom and Mom, or Dad and Dad, it’s true.

You see, like a rainbow, the colors blend,

There aren’t any clear lines,

So no matter where you fall on the curve,

Honey, that’s just fine.

Imagine a world of black and white,

Where love was not so free,

I want to be able to love you,

I want you to be able to love me.

Take a look through rainbow colored glasses,

There’s more than what you see,

Because Love is still Love,

Whether them, you, or me.
