THE
PAIN OF NOT KNOWING
HOW TO READ
The following is a winning poem written
by Raymond Gentry.
Time
goes on, and our pain
always stays. We try to forget
the ones who would play
those hurtful games.
The silent tears still fall from our eyes… As the
sad thought of memory seem to blow our minds.
Tender hearts may fall apart as we pray to God for a fresh
start.
We try to hold a brave face as we walk through life…
As soon as we are alone time is not on our side.
We know that life is unfair, But as people we still treat
everybody the same with respect and care.
The time has come and we must say; To who want their lingering
thought to just go away!
It’s better to be happy and at peace... Let our heart
and spirits have the chance to be free.
We must hold on to what is important to us… And never
let anybody take that special
memory or feeling:
‘cause the meaning has no end!
As time goes on we have ways of coping with everything,
Everything
that life throws at us;
But when we have good friends around us, it makes you feel
so much better knowing, that some one does care and has
the wellness to help us along the way!
I
dedicate this poem to the Yamaska Literacy Council,
whose help has been beyond description. A large part in
what I will accomplish in life will be due to your unending
support and guidance.
