I can’t for this moment
reach somewhere inside me
and find
that little something
that holds my back straight
holds my head up high
not pride, surely
just that sense of self-worth
lurking somewhere in the shadows
in winter’s gun metal gray

Wait, I think I see it
creeping round some forgotten sorrow
not worth remembering
yet for the moment claiming my me
the who I am now
the who I became
after leaving that sorrow
in yester year’s gray

Very good write. Enjoyed. Chris

I love the way you have expressed the way sorrow can grow us into stronger and more lovely souls...Wonderful! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
