I often think on thoughts of end
To then go on with minds pretend
For really I will never know
Until the coming time I go

I’d love to think that there is more
Than what I leave from time before
In ones pretend the wrongs all mend
Each day brings less or more

I wonder of the friends that passed
Just why their lives went by so fast
And get stuck in the thought of why
We’re brought here just to live and die

There must be so much more unsaid
Some secrets that I’ve never read
There must be more than lifetime years
There must be peace to quell the fears

I wonder why we can’t all love
And know that there is God above
I don’t see why hope makes us pray
For it is fate that comes our way


I’d love to see a miracle
Be touched so I could say
Come join me in this lifetime friends
Then with me fly away

Ah now Rick...so melancholy...
sometimes, miracles are in the
interpretation of how you would see them...

Take nothing for granted.
Each new dawn is a miracle in itself...
and one never knows what the
day will bring.  Cliches?  Sure...

But they work, don't they?



Good morning, Sir!

Dear Sunshine, thanks for the reply my friend, always I am thinking ramdom ponderings and write them down, believing many others must think the same, I live much on hope and there after, but how many of us are sure?, the truth lies within the mind somewhere, belief is ones own. I do believe miracles happen every day, but each that we see, we are ment to.
Have a wonderful day Sunshine, nice having this chat.

Dear Linda, great to see you here my friend, I do ponder and wonder all the time, good to have you there to share each with, thanks for reading and replying, have a wonderful day.

To you both my friends, again thank you for your replies, hugs to you both.

Sincerely
Rick

I liked this, brings lots of thoughts, more than a few memories in you well wrote poem.  

"I wonder of the friends that passed
Just why their lives went by so fast"

This is always on my mind, too quickly gone.  Thanks for writing this.

MyHeartofShadows, I think of it often myself, not all the time, but when you hear of someone passing away then thoughts come back. None have ever come back to tell me all is great and as we get older we wonder more. Thank you so much for your reply here my friend, very much appreciated.

Sincerely
Rick
