I Stand In Line
I think of the world so much larger than I.
Yet once in a while I get to touch the sky.
I don’t have the answers yet maybe a clue.
I know what shall be is all up to you…
I awake from this sleep but realize the dream.
Though many things in life are not as they seem.
The love that you send shall be what you get.
I can see the top but I’m not quite there yet.
I realize that dreams can certain come true.
Like the sun always shines when the sky is blue.
I see before me all of these possibilities,
All that I did was open my eyes to see.
I hope and I pray for just another day,
Where someone can relate to words that I say.
I’m not always certain if I know how,
But I feel like this is the time right now.
I watch as things pass by and then slowly fade,
I feel some remorse in decisions I’ve made.
I have no regrets for the price that I’ve paid
I just wish in my heart a little more could have stayed.
The pieces of the puzzle lie scattered across the floor.
As I get to take a peek of what the future has in store.
I may not have it all but there is still time.
So I take my place and stand in line…
