Hit Or Miss

I imagine a world better than this Only to realize it’s hit or miss Some days you hit the ball out of the park While other days it’s hard to see where to start... Seeing is believing and belief it will grow All that I need shall be all that I know Sometimes things aren’t as they appear The perspective changes as you grow near. Hearing without listening nothing is heard To think you just know is quite absurd Many things change from one day to the other As your perspective changes you will discover. I walk out today with no destination in mind I open my eyes and it’s a treasure I find I get on board so I don’t get left behind Vision returns where once I was blind. I need to work more on developing faith Make it a home a place that is safe Sometimes I’m stubborn and try to save face This is the time I must learn grace. Te sun sets and the day is done The horizon greets the vanishing sun I hope to do better than the day before Only reason is because I want this more.

Thanks but I don't know how wise I am :) It's really just the way i see things I have the Mark dictionary with my own definitions and even a few of my own words. But think of the reverse of this line If you don't know what you need you shall never know. Take carre and thanks for reading:) Mark
