I Can Smile
One life is given
And
Yesterday, is not my today
And tomorrow is a fragment in time
A few steps forward does not make a difference
It will be… what it will be
Time, is not my conquest
But today, even as the sun does shine
I put my pen away
Close the windows and shutter my eyes
To leave my thoughts inside my crippled mind
Better by far for me to forget, and then….I will smile
Going backwards is never better
From my prospective, this I conceive
Creativity….maybe lost
Like withered leaves loitered on the lawn to long
