The Day Passes By

Sometime I can’t see past the day. Many times I get in my own way. Thoughts swirl, then land on the page, Just like a beast released from a cage. The sun rises as I thought it would. The light shines down, just like it should. I hear a voice and drift away, Wonder where I will wind up today? My mind wanders what shall I do? I see a smile, it sees me through. I can’t see where I’m going, just where I’ve been, I know that the start is a good place to begin. I begin to live my life day by day. Words speak what my heart has to say. I seem to find comfort where there was none, I see so much peace I try to grab some. The day flies by, I don’t know where it went. I dig in my pocket, but the money is spent. I find a piece of paper that you gave to me, All of a sudden, I see what will be. I spread my wings expecting to fly, To reach out, then soar through the sky. The sun sets, it starts to get dark, Another day recorded inside my heart. The stars come out and shine so bright, Guiding me through my journey this night. They sparkle like diamonds catching my eye, The last thing I see as the day passes by.
