Just Because

You were loved once just because but in defiance of your lot perhaps inspite learned to dance, love again Think it's hidden in diamond's luster or hereafter not all the smiles nor outpour of laughter Educated, ready to reach the brass ring's test understanding even less of life's best Trade in yesterday for sister's and brother's just a taste of tomorrow's forevers never promised, nor bothered I'll never tell you it's so if you want or don't who'd think I could ever know when you will or won't? Never can be too sure if anything will last channel'd from someone or something remains from ages past Run faster hoping time will never catch up, to all this ask you to pay amends for moments chastened now missed Try to catch the wind sleeping best to practice touching.. keeping No, you won't remember hard times if it were up to me staring into a lion's eyes, from where you came on the way to where you'll be Return to doctor's orders hold on to praise won pray all turns right before the ending' sun Ten's beauty is half as such twelve is way too much make due with that special someone just because

Many things in life are either appreciated, ignored or taken for granted. Why?...just because! Enjoyed your train of thought, Richard. ~Regards // paul

Regretfull look into the past but with the eye of the disapointing present. Be happy where you are.

A message of heart--a dialogue on life and love book-ended with opening and closing arguments. Your poem made me pause and think, Richard.
