And I’m here…..in a crowd of people. I smile, I talk and laughter fills the air. Life seems so good….everything’s bright and fair. I excel at my work, my seniors pat my back. I plan to learn more, to make up for what I lack. Over a cup of tea, I share a joke or two…..there is a sense of comfort with colleagues old and new. I’m drowned in the lap of comfort…this place is new and good. I’m thanking God every minute….because I know I should. For a woman I’ve come quite far….there is a shower of praises. I don’t let prejudices cow me down….life is full of mazes. A career, money and place under the sun, I’ve made a mark of my own. Mom and Dad are happy, their lil girl has grown.

The setting is so perfect….life seems like a dream. My bag of goodies is full, its flowing over the brim. What then does my heart yearn for….the craving has begun to hurt....I seem to be searching for someone, people mill around me but…..

There is a voice I need to hear, a hand I want to hold….I want to live a lifetime with you…..With you I want to watch sunsets gold…….its the circle of your arms that I’m yearning for, not these wordly snares. If you come back to me again.....my heart I promise I’ll bare…….the feelings that I have left unexpressed, I’ll give them the form of words, your love has taught me the meaning of life…I love you so much it hurts…………
