The Ad

I finally broke down and placed an ad Desperate for that which I once had Hoping for help in helping me out Not sure it'll happen since I still have my doubts First thing I have on top of my list That I most miss is my childhood innocence If anyone knows where it is Could you give me a call, I'll pay top dollar for it Then there's the love I'd keep beside of me Wherever I went unconditionally Sharing with those I felt were in need Now I need it back, desperately I remember when I held forgiveness by the hand Yet over the years I cynically let it slip The craziest thing about this is I struggle to forgive myself for losing it I've started out looking for just a few I figure if I get these back I'll be doing good Next I'll be looking to get back my clue If I had that I'm sure I'd know what to do Which brings back the purpose for this ad Desperate for that which I once had Looking for help in helping me out Hope against hope these can be found

Mike, IMO this is one of your best. The 4th stanza is one that resonated the most with me. I forgive others but struggle with self forgiveness. In this ever changing world, I lost my innocence early, not sure I want the love I've given away back but I understand how hard it can be once love has forsaken and I never had a clue to lose. Great write!!!
