Sad Song ,Better

7-8-2011        Sad Song better                                                         

Today I heard a sad song that reminded me of long ago,
Gazing for hours into a reflecting pool, I saw myself playing the fool,
 My tears would fall as does the rain during a heavy storm,
 My image was scattered and broken in the mirrored glass from a long time ago,
While trying to find a future in the past I noticed bright smiles, which turned to many for miles,

I was educated that I can find myself more in others,by just  taking a chance ,
 I found that I was not alone, I found where I could belong,
 Now and again I go back to the reflecting pool,
 Which I see myself, much clearer than before.
