Cups Of Pain

By Silver Angel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I have dreamt 1000 dreams That will never come true To have them disappear by morning Were they real, I haven't a clue But I have had enough good dreams To make me want to DREAM again I have trusted 1000 friends Who have utterly failed me To have them let me cry alone As I sit here by the phone But I have enough friends who are true To let me TRUST again I have prayed 1000 prayers That never got replies Even though I waited patiently As I look faithfully to the sky But enough of my prayers have been answered To let me PRAY again I have drained 1000 cups of pain With 1000 disappointments I've have gone 1000 days Without a song in my heart But I have sampled enough sweetness from life To give me the STRENGTH to go on Written September 22nd, 2001 © on Sep 22 2001 07:22 AM PST   0 • 12
