Renaissance
by Glena M. Ackley
Once upon a time
Darkness prevailed.
Loneliness ensued me
Despair chased away hope.
Once upon a time
My life was empty.
Living each was a chore
A scary time of despair.
Once upon a time
My life was a "black hole"
Questioning my existence,
"How can I go on?"
Once upon a time
My tears ran freely,
Tears of pain
Tears of longing.
Once upon a time
On a beautiful spring day
I found the inner power
To bare all and pray.
And God sent me an Angel
To fill up my lonely life
Yah, God sent me an Angel
To help bear my strife.
And the Angel spoke to my heart,
Filled me right up with new hope.
Reminded me I was never alone,
Yes, now I know I can cope.
And you ask me now,
How do you hear them speak?
And you ask me how,
For you know your faith is weak.
Well, my friend,
It's not so hard after all
Just have a pure heart,
And I promise you'll never fall.
Open your heart to love,
Give away your fear.
Never falter on faith,
And your Angels will always be near.
Yah, Once upon a time
Is never, no more
For I am in a Renaissance
And all my life can do is soar!
