Try, Try, Try
At night we're all alone in the black nothingness
Of our slowly crawling mind
We travel back to things done incorrectly or left behind.
Once more, the feelings, ignore...
To the racing thoughts , a blind eye...
"Another day, Another chance ,"
We say,
"Try, Try , Try ".
Success before means success again,
As we lie in the trenches, together as friends
Only to arise once more
Feeling deflated, exploited and less-than before.
While those above us sit behind their desks
Speaking of their nickels and dimes
And punch-out clock times,
And whose notes were done and not yet signed.
After so much pain and loss of life
But for those of us who Give and Give once more,
"Forgiveness is Divine" we'll always Implore
Another day breaks with its sky pink and gray,
Leaving Our worried thoughts behind
If we can be of service for yet another day
