A Close Call Poem by Desiree Whitamore

Maybe this life will take a turn
and the hope that falls from your face will rise again.
maybe the feeling of oppresive hurt
will continue to hide in the end.
we're so strong and we know it.
we've got the power to stand.
when they hide it will show us
we don't have to understand.
we don't have to know
that an eye for an eye is a trade
and this baggage we forever tow
will soon and forever fade.
if our love for each other is enough
then we'll get through everything in our path
though covering our tracks may be tough
sooner or later its a part of the past.
i'll hold nothing against you.
you'll hold nothing against me.
you're what i know to be true
and i know you will always see.
that through all the clouds
there will always be sun
and though we're stubborn and proud,
we'll always be one.
