Why do you hold back the tears
Are you afraid they won't stop
Will those flood gates open
Of all in life you have lost
How do you smile each day
With all the pain you have suffered
Smiling to make others smile
Yet way down inside are you bluffing
You see the pain of others and want to soothe their pain
It is an enormous feel of success
When you see the smiles you gain
Will you get through this heartache
The hardest pain of all
Forever climbing a mountain
To avoid a dangerous fall
You know you must keep rolling
Having seen others climb higher
There is a gift in each new day
And a will to inspire
Create your own outcome
Believe there is away
Hide from any darkness
See light in each new day
Are you holding back to save the makeup
Smudging on your face
Or is it that positive feeling
And the words of.. 'Amazing Grace'...
Believe

tears and hugs for you my friend. I well know about holding back the tears. Hiding the pain. Smiling although inside you are dying. Healing others when you cannot heal yourself. I wish I could bring a smile to your face and laughter to your heart. My prayers for you every single day.
Very inspiring poem to keep going and not give up. Wonderful poem dear Lyn.
I like this poem, Lyn. The message here is that you need to hide your pain for fear of upsetting the ones you love, and believe in your ability to carry on, if only for the sake of your family.
