Mark Russell Poet Narrative

The Best That I Can

I awake this morning with anew bounce in my step
I’m not certain where I’m going but I’m not there yet
I just can’t believe how life changes everyday
 I am grateful and proud to be part of today.

I seem to meet people from all walks of life
They all want to leave behind the struggle and strife
There is so much more if you only just look
Go out and live it because it won’t be in a book.

I can never remember me being this way
As I drift slowly from the safety of the bay
Everything I see becomes a part of me
The more pieces that join in, the more that I see

I am really quite thankful yet what is it I deserve?
It seems I’ve found purpose and that’s what I’ll serve
It gives me direction a new path to go
The more that I learn the less I know.

I wish to thank everyone that’s along for the ride
With my heart on my sleeve, the emotions I can’t hide
You all join together and make me who I am
I hope with my heart I do the best that I can.
