Kiss the Sun!

Here I am, standing in the sun.... Ran into a wall again, and now I am not so sure, what the future holds But, let me take a look, inside that is Perspectives and points of view? Many years ago, I barely stayed alive At the end of the rope, once upon a time.... Looking back now, at all of the seasons that have gone by Faces, places, moments in time ~ Nothing but gratitude, how could I ever cry Standing, here, in the sun.... Its a glorious day, a gift from above! I do not know, I do not care What I have lost? Or being alone? Peering, beyond the horizon, of what may come A smile now growing, upon my face A lucky man, no matter what, tomorrow brings!? Within all of these years, of borrowed time Beautiful hearts, and wonderful eyes Rising, again, in this sun.... What walls? What thorns? The crowds passing by "Life," perspectives, points of view? Years, tears, love, and, "You" One more day, one more chance, above it all.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kiss the Sun!

Dearest John, Good morning to you. So glad I found this wonderful write! I guess we all "run into a wall" now and again. Eveyone deserves a second chance if they are sincere. God gave us a "second" chance through Christ. Great write, John! I love the thought of "kissing the sun". (1 Corinthians 4: 1-18). GBY! Love, Robin

Glad your still here. Been there my self once in 1968 when my first wife life me, was on top of this bridge ready to jump, when i stopped, next day after I sobered up I was glad i did not do it. so know how you must have felt at one time. this was a great write so touching.
