A Soft Place To Fall

A Soft Place To Fall

 I can't promise you roads Paved out of Gold

 Nor Tomorrows without Sorrow or woes

 But I can promise you this

 That through it all I'll always be there

 A soft place to fall

 I can't guarantee Sunshine Each day you arise

 I can't tell you it won't be Yet one more trial

 But I can guarantee this You won't walk it through alone

 Yes you'll always have A soft place to fall

 I can't assure that tomorrow Will bring riches or fame

 I can't promise a future Without any pain

 But one thing I swear

 Till the end of it all You'll always have this

 A soft place to fall.

what a great concept and combination of words. and what a wonderfully true portrayal of emotion. we can never prevent those we love from falling, but we can always be there to make the fall less harsh. this is one of those rare poems that i wish i had written.

how beautiful is this! it flows like a song. very original and caring and wonderful.

[HChase]

Again great work. Found some of the capital letters mid sentence a bit distracting at times but over all i really enjoyed it

[Harmonica winds]

Such a wonderful, beuatiful piece. Inspirational piece.

Beautifully written, such a gentle tone to sluice the reader. Reads almost like a song, with such a sonorous way about the words. Aye, 'tis very true, a life without pain cannot be promised, but that pain can be transformed into beauty through this peaceful, withstanding promise. Lovely write.
