Reflections on a Bad Day
Watching while hope goes flying in the breeze,
Just a falling leaf worthy only to be burning
Trying so tightly to cling to what I believe
But in the darkness of my heart doubt is stirring
Wondering and worrying about the distant past
Nor does the present seem so full of roses
Knowing that the moment cannot forever last
No matter what my frenzied brain supposes
Would I if I could return to yesterday,
And relive heartache waiting for the change
Trusting to a frigid fate that what comes my way
Could destroy even what is a written page?
There are no implied promises given at your birth
So enjoy the sparse time you have here on Earth…
