Raindrops Fall

Raindrops fall

Along the chambers of my soul,

Washing away the memories

Born of despair and alone.

A storm rages where once was

The calm of innocence,

The laughter of a child.

That was all yesterday,

I’m trying so hard to believe

The pain is truly gone.

But there are moments

When the shadows return,

Moments where

It would be easier to cry

Than to stand,

Or crawl

Rather than walk.

Teardrops fall,

And I am refreshed, renewed.

I am less than I thought could be

But far more than I ever was,

I am a man scared by his past

Yet welcoming his future.

I am all this

And yet I am even more

For I am the man

Who has found his tomorrow

In you.
