Jack 6

Opening your mind can be enlightening But writing words down can be frightening Unless spoken, meaning can go in the wrong direction Written words sometimes miss the important inflection What we have in life we shouldn’t take for granted We need to keep it real with our feet firmly planted However, it’s hard sometimes to keep it real When you can’t explain or express how you really feel I don’t fear much but do have a bit of a fear A time will come when you are not here You’re part of my life that I don’t wish to end So that time will be hard to comprehend Often feels like an awesome roller coaster ride I need to go now as the words have dried Never know if I should write what’s on my mind I just hope the reception to this is not too unkind
