Job Hunting Seeds

Today is the first day of the rest of my life
trying to find a job, I have set out in flight
all the applications, and questions they ask
for someone that is older, this can be a task

from one town to another, I went today
"thank you for coming in, we will call you" they say
out their door to another place I go
not much going on, things here are slow

I will not give up, that is not my style
but I haven't done this in quite a while
retail, wholesale, and all in between
my gas hand shows empty, now I could scream

maybe next week my future will change
my phone is fully charge, I will stay in range
only one chance, that is all I need
today I was planting, my job hunting seeds

Whoa Chris! I love the realistic honesty that stems from this poem. Job hunting is hard enough without adding on to a lapse in time before hitting the ground again. I guess, the key is to knock on many doors and hopefully one will open. Well penned!
