Sometimes I feel like I cannot smile
Things close in on me if only for a while
Other times I feel like I can only cry
When I think of my mom in the great by and by

Sometimes I feel like I am a child
Running around the house and being wild
Other times I feel like I am very old
On those long winter nights when I get so cold

Sometimes I feel like nothing can stand in my way
I wake up ready go to out and conquer each day
Other times I feel like I can barely get out of bed
So many visions and voices filling my head

Sometimes I feel like I am happy here
When I sit back and think about all those years
Other times I feel like I should be home
It always hits me wherever I happen to roam

Sometimes I feel like I can do no wrong
Whistling and singing life’s sweet serene song
Other times I feel like nothing is right
When I weep and wail in sheer fright

Sometimes I feel like I gave my best
Somehow managing to pass life’s little test
Other times I feel like I have truly failed
Like Jesus to the cross I have been nailed

Sometimes I feel like the world is mine
In the things I do my true self shines
Other times I feel like I am not me
Struggling, hoping to someday be free

Sometimes I feel like I am a good friend
Encouraging and supportive my love knows no end
Other times I feel like I cannot help
Like a wounded puppy I silently yelp

Sometimes I feel like I am real
I often think and compassionately feel
Other times I feel like I am fake
I curl up crying as I violently shake

Sometimes I feel like no one sees
The woman who’s really inside of me
Other times I feel like they surely know
My heart on my sleeve constantly shows

Sometimes I feel like I need strength
To find it I’d go to any length
Other times I feel like I am powerful
My grasp of the game can be masterful

Sometimes I feel like the meek
Praying for the forgiveness that I seek
Other times I feel like I am in control
It’s my hand that writes the future scroll

Sometimes I feel like I want to leave
There’s no way any could ever believe
Other times I feel like they already sense
The circumstances behind certain events

Sometimes I feel like this is the end
No more poetry shall I send
Other times I feel like I will write on
Until the words inside are all gone

Sometimes I feel like I should kneel
In order for Him to finally heal
Other times I feel He is done
Like when I see the rising of the sun

Sometimes . . .

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

sometimes you can. . . and sometimes. . . you can't. . .that all that there is. . . it's not right, I know. . . but. . . that is the lesson. . .

well done. . . well chosen words, and a good flow. . .
