Deep Down Knowing
From the day when young
I thought I could do no wrong.
Was contented lived my life.
Never knowing the meaning
of strife.
As I got older saw things
with new eyes.That is when
I realized.
I had itchy feet never staying long
always looking for that some one.
I was a traveler a free spirit
looking for the greener grass
hoping it would last.
What I found was barren earth
my curiosity leading me on
disappointed in that some one.
Looking new to sow it was
she I got to know.
A breathtaking view
some one new.
Time was short
we did our best
deep down knowing
it could not last.
As the ground disappeared
from view.
Replaced by clouds
I was left thinking
secretly wishing
I could stay too.
