River of Sorrow



As the world turned in it's uneased pain, the tears of the lost shed down our pained faces. If only we had know what the day was to bring. If we had only known.
 Like a River of Sorrow, our hearts burst into flames as we sit and condem those who have hurt us so.
 Our lives changed forever, never to be as they were. We can only griev in the sorrow that our souls carry this day.
 We can only do one thing, and that one thing will protect us from anything that this cruel world can toss our way. We must do what that passed, our beloved would have wanted us to do. We must not forget them in this time of sorrow, or we shall wash away all life's greatest memories into that River of Sorrow.
 May we grow stronger and never loose the memories that we had and still hold onto.
