A Voice

A Voice 


I used to look...at myself in the mirror,
and everytime that I did, I could not see
anyone there. The sun used to shine on my face 
and my arms and though I could see it, It didn't
feel warm. All I could feel, was cold and empty,
and I longed for the day when I would finally be 
free.  When all of the sudden, on a night that was
clear I heard a soft voice descend upon my ear.
It was like a dream but yet it was real.
And it filled me with hope, that I had yet to feel,
It took away my emptiness, as well as my fear
it filled up my heart with confidence and cheer.
Now when I look into that mirror because of that 
voice, I see myself clear.
That voice that I heard was neither angel nor ghost
It was you Mercedes whom I love all the most.

Reason for writing:

    I composed this poem to my wife as a symbol of my undying love, and to inspire people who dont believe in love. There is someone out there for you !!

Thank you, Allen C.
