Analysis of Despair



When one is in a depression,
Others cannot give an expression.
To alleviate the terrific pain,
That weighs so heavy on that one's brain.
No words will lift them out,
Though the others have had that bout.
And it is as a heavy drape,
That this one cannot escape,
And one day you will be healed,
by the Miraculous Touch of The Lord!!
Because you are in God's Made World.
