When I look For Things, I Have Lost
When I look for things that I've lost
In my mind that I have stored
I rummage through what I have tossed
Into a pile without accord
Sometimes I find its near at hand
When I look for things that I have lost
Other times I seem to sift through sand
As time goes by it is the cost
Many of life's bridges have I crossed
Sometimes I wonder at its sum
When I look for things that I have lost
I'll think of things still yet to come
I've hope of what still yet might be
If I sail waves that have been tossed
Successfully enough to see
When I look for things that I have lost
