Like the colour of old ragged cloth br My tears fade br Eroded pain like washed away earth br Depart my soul br Flowing with patient ease br Graven heart full of bitter love br Now opens up like the first blush of spring br Ready to welcome the new secret of fresh love br Rolled up in new expectation br My soul smiles and lights up my face br Hopeful gazing and wondering of what the future holds br Tears now faded leave a cool feeling to my cheeks br My lips curve in a full smile finally after so long br All is well after all and the peace calmly rolls inbr br Elizabeth Jacqueline Mpangabr br
