Poem Title:
Poem
You may cross the valley with its fields so fresh and green Or go across the mountains that seem as there a dream You can scale the ridges that run up and down the coast Cross the seas that have collected their own share of ghost No matter where you go or what ever you may see You’ll never meet another soul that has two sides like me On one side is the past on the other is the now As I see it most of it doesn’t even matter anyhow Life is but a roller coaster spinning up and down One day we wear a smile the next may be a frown One day we feel young and strong the next all worn out A day in time creates a rhyme is this what I’m all about I’m all alone in my home this window is my best friend It is all in this life that lets the outside world come in I don’t really go out too much I’m afraid of what I may do So I sit here and live my life like the little old lady in the shoe The pain and doubt wear me out weighing heavy on my soul As I wonder would it be best if death just came and took its toll Then I see my beautiful wife in her car coming down our road I remember the reason I’m here is to help her with her load It’s just another day I’m here to say, sitting here in my chair I guess the old saying is true; “no one said life would be fair” If it were fair I reckon my ashes would be resting in some Urn But I guess its up to God who picks when it will be our turn If pain is gain then I’m insane, I’m in a grip of pain every single day The fact of the matter is I’m in pain, each and every step of the way But its all ok I’m here to say for I am still on a spiritual path You don’t really have to be a genius to learn and do the math One plus one equals two, and my darling that would be me and you For the things you say and do, know my heart and love are forever true When we met I was shake & bake always take, flying upon a distant star Mess with me and very soon you’ll see, inside the trunk of my car Now I’m give and love holding Christ above, just trying to be a man Some days are good and others bad but know I’m doing the best I can When I write it out you can have no doubt, it’s out of my control Sometimes the words pour out of my heart and other times my soul All we are is the things we do so I wrote this poem proud and true The reason I do what I do ; I reckon I love each and every one of you
