Better Than Ever

10/27/19 "Better Than Ever" Took a lot of tries Opened up my eyes And became wise Thought A lot Took a shot And got after what I sought Fought against torment and rot So oft People mock It never ceases to stop Finally connected the dots I took it to a higher notch Time is what it cost Pondering, whether I ought to or not As I sat atop a peculiar spot Where many lives were lost On a morning with frost It's a sphere, not flat As time continues to elapse This is where I'm currently at Staying on track Honing my craft Had some nice chats and so many laughs On this world, I've had a blast Won't be the first or the last Can't let the opportunity pass When she crosses my path Because I'm still looking for my other half What an adventure! It's been a pleasure Doing better than ever Being clever Through endeavors Handling stressors And pressure In any weather Getting an accurate measure I found some treasure While in the air was a zephyr Never Going to be a pretender From January to December I might be of the same feather But I don't always want to flock together Can't surrender Or settle for lesser A lot of benders Eyes slightly redder Stoking some embers I still remember All the splendor God bless her I wrote you a letter And left it on the dresser Beside a craft made with leather
