Move On

MOVE ON Pick at it and open the wound Poor on the salt with a big spoon Can’t just let things go and be Stirring the heart more angrily The history we had is long since gone I made mistakes and tried righting the wrongs But this is the end of the line Healing will occur over some time Thankful for the time that we shared Relationship was good I promise I swear But I departed and left the fold Out in the world to journey was bold Wearing a uniform in line to conform Growing up fast with others reformed They yelled at me and gave me guns When liberty came we shared some fun Drove big trucks deployed on ships overseas Round the globe twice in many countries Very much training and more to train Grew up quick and maturity was gained Back to civilian life and started a new Now what? Where do I go? What to do? I know lets protect and serve that’s the ticket Got rejected for colorblindness so I dismissed it Earning a living at a health food store Dating a girl, how can I provide for? She was on track and smart and clever I would marry her now and forever She would graduate and become a teacher But first we would vow in front of the preacher Working as a manager at $14 per hour Or a degree in allied health I would not cower Accepted some help along the way That which I am grateful for to this day I’ve had my fair share of miscalculations Made hasty decisions with no hesitation Financial errors where to work and live Undue stress on loved ones please forgive Life is a teacher and I’ve learned up to now Like a farmer keep your hand to the plow Blows and punches will sure come your way Take the highs with the lows its not all doomsday I can tell you that family is at the center Having my wife at my side with kids to mentor Happiness is an illusion finding meaning is the key If you have a “Why?”, enduring the “How?” is easy By beardedjarhead
