Hello Pattijo,

Welcome to our group, and thank you so much for sharing your poem with us. It is
a very special poem... it speaks from and to the heart. In spite of the sadness,
it is also very beautiful because of the hope and courage in it.

I pray that your own prayers are heard very soon.

Respectfully,
Brigitte

Feeling Frozen

Feeling frozen as the day's pass by
loving myself I may say with a lie
Moving past the day's of old
memories haunt with words so bold

I look for a rainbow with colors to share
I see in the mirror with all my despair
May I move the mountains in my way
I ask of you Lord this I pray

Shall I tiptoe through the midnight hours
or take to your grave Dad a basket of flowers
My feelings sway so from day to day
I can't find myself wanting to go out to play

I'll look for the courage to speak to my heart
and I 'll be looking for a brand new start
To begin a day in a special way
while learning to love me from day to day
