Proud Heart
Written by Charlotte G. Mair


Winter winds breeze
through my hair
as days grow short
… one by one

lost ones
now
will be set free
from my wounded heart
at last

On to a new tomorrow
no more sorrow
from the past
… gone at last

Proud now
of who I am
ancient forefathers
stand strong

No hearts
to long
for what is not
for now
we meld
in song

No searching
for what is not there

... gone
are the days of wanting
... welcomed
are times not haunting
a soul, a worried soul

No envy
for who has

I now know
they have none
… it is all a facade

The heart knows
what
it hungers

Love
…eternal Love
unconditional
forever
you cannot buy
it’s only free
for those who see

its truth
its power
its wonder
its freedom
its wisdom

... it's Love

Let time pass by
no tears
do plead

With open arms
I greet the winter
of my life
knowing
I gave it my all
with an epitaph
infinitely etched
in granite

'She Tried'

And
the wind will not threaten me
in the end

as I am rocked
to sleep
in my maker’s arms
on high

sweet dreams
