I always get
What I want
But never can I keep it
I work so hard
To plow the field
Still never do I reap it

The darkest clouds
Obscure my view
Which leaves me cold and hollow
Yet I forge on
With strength anew
Along the road I follow

My love is lost
Not to be found
Just memories to be tasted
The deepest pool
In which I drownd
Ends this life I've wasted

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

Is our lives wasted?
Or is everything just a test
of our strengths?
Good poem, Mr. Webb

I like this, but I don't believe anything is a total waste--but it's your poem, your call

LOVE ELMO

JamesMichael, Sven & Caout Barkula: I thank you. I'm glad to see that this one didn't fade away as I thought it had. I really have no words to explain this one other than randon thought in my head. Thanks again.

Wow, can I relate to this one.

I have to admit I feel that way a lot.
I know I am not wasting my time and that all things happen for a reason.
I just wish I could know one of the reason's once in a while!

Great poem. I will look for more.
