Why Still Try

Imagine still thinking
There’s some way
To please everyone
It’s simply impossible
No matter how we try
It can’t be done

There are people who
Live to kibosh dreams
They lurk in the dark
They’re everywhere
And can’t be avoided

Keep your face to the sun
Chase your dreams
Follow your star
Realize your destiny
Be proud and live your life
To please yourself

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/27/2018 3:55:00 PM I was congratulating my granddaughter once on painting a glorious canvas that said "be you." She laughed. Many moons later I realized that I have painted over fifteen canvases that say "be you". This poem reminded me of that, Line. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 10/27/2018 7:06:00 PM Awesome, Caren. Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment.
