One of the Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers
By Eleanor Gamarsh
My emotional heart is a child.
When left alone
its smile turns down.
My intelligent mind is an adult
always telling my child,
"It's okay to be alone."
My child's heart says,
"To be alone
is to be without love."
My adult mind says,
"Love can never be gone;
only hidden by the shadows
of your fears."
