"Heart in a Box" a sonnet
Our paths are often obscured, painful memories,
Often not perceived clearly, are stumbling blocks.
One foot before another is the advice heard.
What to do if your heart is in a scarred up box?
Trust, always difficult, is pushed into the dark
With each new betrayal, whether real or perceived.
Try as you might, the fog grows dismally thicker,
Your path recedes in darkness, your heart is bereaved.
Still, there is always a light shining through the fog.
The light of Hope, leads onward, without surrender.
Brotherhood, that helping hand we get from Loving,
Opens the pathways, a healthy heart to render.
Fog, darkness, dismay or despair, never give up.
Let your heart be true, let happiness fill your cup.
