I Wonder

I Wonder          

I wonder about the people who left me
Where they all could be
I wonder about them every day
When I’m at rest and when I pray
I wonder if they’re riding high or riding low
If they’re just hanging around or on the go
I sometimes dream about them and really wonder
How can they still be in my dreams 
When they’ve already been put down under
And even though I have faith and believe
There are often days when I still grieve
I can’t prevent my doubts
I can’t stop my fears
And I can’t control my own ideas
But one thing I know is true
I’ll one day be there too

Hi Andrew,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
