Working forward
Working is a process
To pass thru life
Feeling accomplished
Feeling
I’m doing my best
Will there be rewards?
Will there be stress?
I’m sure lots of both
Lots to look back on
Knowing I did all I could
Knowing
I did my best.

Figuring
trying to figure it out
can’t understand
the way, the procedure
to get it done
figured out.
Will work on it
I’ll think about
what may be the way
to do this, get it done
to
figure it out.

See me be
The best
I can possibly be
No sacrifice
No sleepless nights
No what if’s
or
Buts
Just
Just the best
Me
I can be.

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.
No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.

Ever wonder why?
Ever think things happen
On a line
You can’t deny?
Ever wonder why
Answers come
But don’t seem to be
The ones asked
Or seen technically?
Ever wonder, wonder why?

The world spins
it turns round
Bringing beauty
to those that
surround
Their hearts with kindness
all things
that in this world
do abound.

My journey is special
I am elite
No one else walks, talks
Or looks like me.
My heart skips a beat
When I look in the mirror
For there someone exceptional
Is looking at me.
No one in this world
This story or be
The exact same example
The same human being.
I am special
I am me.

Death is overpowering me
Coming, telling me
What to do, where to go
Where to be.
Death is walking beside me
Holding gently, telling me
Souls who go don’t leave
They too, are alongside me.
Death is breathing life inside me
My time will come but not now
Go live a life full of love
Fun and beauty.
This death tells me.

I know
I should not believe
That all is well
That’s just make believe
Time has come
To stand still
Feel the earth move
See reality
Ugly, beauty
All of it understood
Accepting, unconditionally
Still believing
In the grace of God
Forever
I will believe.
