This Day

My heart is ending
I can feel it
And I'm living this day
As my last

The joy I spent
Giving way to 
Sorrow I gain
That’s the deal

Forsaken no mercy
You will endure
No hope and more
That’s the price

Submit accept your lot
And be grateful 
At last I live this day
As my first

It is not an easy thing to do, but when one finds gratitude through the time of sorrow, it shows bravery. Great write, David!

Wow, I love the twist in the end David.. I've got the idea that every ending is just a start at a new beginning.. Your piece reminded me of that.. Awesome!!! tc Wilma
