Before, During, After
Before I was feeling
empty
Since joy didn’t fit in
my heart
Smiles came and went
with sad sorrow
Frowns seemed to frame
my empty face
During this time, I
found my way
Seeking my truths as I
did pray
Understood that my days
turned black
Comfort in life I now
did lack
All was taken in a
short flash
Dreams tumbled and
suddenly crash
As failure overtook
one’s mind
Your love in life turned
cold and blind
Sorrow captured my
body’s peace
Life we lived died
coming to cease
After years of solitude
pain
The mind grew and heart
became full
Faith in one’s own self
and in God
Taught me again to
become full
