Sometimes

Sometimes the sun is shinning
And all I see is cloud
Sometimes in all the silence
The noise is really loud
Sometimes I might be smiling
Inside I’m feeling blue
Sometimes I just don’t know
What I always thought I knew
Sometimes the waters murky
Just like inside my head
Sometimes it’s crystal clear
Unlike the times ahead
Sometimes I think it’s over
There’s nothing left to give
Sometimes I think that’s silly
As I’m yet to really live
Sometimes I know I’m crazy
And feeling really old
Sometimes it’s just a number
I’m worth my weight in gold
Sometimes I’m icy cold
Today I’m feeling hot
Sometimes I’m real decisive
Today unfortunately not
Sometimes it gets so hard
To keep the dark away
Sometimes my soul does fight 
And I live another day.

Paula, What a day to have. Sometimes we can only take it a day at the time. It's always darkest before the storm but the daylight comes. You have a wonderful way with words. Thank you again. Debbie
