My morning thoughts are crystal clear
They help discern why I am here
How shall I know the path to take
To live my life void of mistake !
TRY TO REMEMBER ( 2019 ) 2019/03/27
Oh dearest friend, I feel your grief
I wish to proffer some relief
You close your eyes to bar the strife
That’s happening within your life.
An agile mind that used to be
Now chained by its infirmity
Oh dearest one, you’ve come this far
Try to remember who you are !
CONFESSION ( 2018 ) 2018/01/02
I’ve always known I was a child
Polite and kind, ne’er rude or wild
Perhaps that is the reason why
My passive nature gets me by.
I wish that I could gather strength
Pursue my dreams to greater length
What is it folks are fighting for
To curry favor, change decor ?
Now I have traveled very far
Across the seas, both ship and shore
My heart has weathered many storms
And travesties beyond the norm !
My curly hair that used to be
Has now begun deserting me
It is not washing down the drain
Just tired curling up again.
While fate has opened every door
To follow through or settle score
I wonder what may soon occur
And to what power I must defer ?
The hours too fast are speeding by
All clouded with both tears and sigh
Oh gracious Lord now hear my plea
My hope is to abide with Thee !
REPRISE ( 2016 ) 2016/08/17
I now have dreamt a thousand dreams
Not one of them came true
For they were naught but crazy schemes
And foolishness we knew.
Our dreams are meant to give us hope
Perhaps a brand new chance
No matter what the age or scope
Reprise is our last dance !
HAVE HOPE ( 2015 ) 2015/10/24
The sounds of life’s struggle carry on
Like some sad elusive marathon
The unseen chains that we drag about
Will do nought more than enforce our doubt.
A simple act is encumbered then
By the hesitant “remember when”
If we could but rise beyond our pain
To rejoin the hopeful once again !
ONE LAST CHOICE ( 2013 ) 2013/11/26
Could we but know what life may hold
Would we perform in manner bold
Or take the path of lesser ways
To weaken failures of our days ?
I’m never sure what I should choose
There’s much at stake to win or lose
Somehow I’d like to think that I
Might opt to give love one last try !
