At Times I Wonder

Listen to poem:

i could never
at least i don’t think so
but at times i wonder

tonight more than ever
i’m feeling the angst
of troubled times

my inner tower
trembling
maybe even crumbling

shaken to the core
i get a grip of myself
remembering to be strong 

though at times i may wonder
i know i could never give up
i could never give in

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/9/2020 11:09:00 PM That stumbling, hesitating, gnawing of fears feeling so honestly, so sincerely expressed. Applicable for all times too, at least for me. 'Man' is a vulnerable animal, plagued with a mind, a conscience, and a sense of history, never knowing what lies around the corner... :) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 6/10/2020 12:14:00 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Gershon.

Timothy Mcguire Date: 6/9/2020 12:43:00 AM So well spoken, I too have these fears. But we come from tough stock and we are a tough generation. We are fighters! Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 6/9/2020 1:24:00 AM Very true - thanks.
