Never Ending

There are times when I look back and wonder. Did I ever do anything right Seems a never ending problem Born to party not to fight Eloquent but never elegant Brash and bold Looking for warmth in the night Too often found only cold Couldn’t see reason Couldn’t be told Some places wish I had never gone There were some I wish I had stayed In the agony I cursed the world Then dropped to my knees and prayed Travelled a lot where the sun never rose Always on the wrong side of the track No matter what seems, I always was blessed Did an angel have my back. A never ending battle Between what was wrong and what was right Decisions made By the devil swayed Can’t win the war if you lose the fight Do you change the things the did so well Or change directions in mid stream On a course headed straight for hell Turn around and follow the beam Trying to do a one eighty turn But the helm is so rusty now Look at the stars and ask for help You know where but you don’t know how You need to go up against the current It is slowing down your pace It will be well worth the effort To dock your boat in a better place.
