For a While

For a while it seemed everything was going swimmingly 
Goodbye to concerns, doubts and all the things killing me
For a while the worries grew more distant every day 
I remember only feeling sad when the sun went away 

To wake up and no longer feel the world on your chest 
Breathing everything new and exhaling the stress 
Having the ability to concentrate with nothing on your mind 
For a while it seemed I had nothing but time.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
