Faces & Voices IV
AN ANTHOLOGY OF VERSE AND PROSE

By for to You
Genia Ann Wright

Trapped by secrecies
Hurt by prides
Tricked by lusts
Shamed by lies

Together for convenience
Searching for a truth
Hoping for redemption
Saved for lack of proof

Waiting to confess
Pretending to save face
Holding on to tomorrow
Reaching to His grace

Remembering you forever
Losing you yesterday
Having you tomorrow
Holding you today
