How Do You Look Ahead

When most of your life is behind you How do you look ahead When all night you silently sigh And wonder how it feels to die Friends and family all tell you to cheer up They're not really thinking of you They can't possibly fathom what it means To have nothing important or pressing to do The days meld together, a morass of gloom You spend more and more time asleep in your room Then one morn, you can't seem to awaken For late at night your life was finally taken

So true. The young cannot relate to this. Love your line,"How do you look ahead." Find a dream and work on making it come true. Have a wonderful day writing away. Take Care.............
