It became a new day
I hardly noticed
lost as i was
in my own grief

the sun returned
I did not see
the grey clouds
were inside of me

The dew lay fresh
yet i felt no breath
of early morn
in my poor health

The earlier bird
in its tree sang
yet i heard only
a grey blank

i opened my eyes
and truly i saw
a new day dawned
in my fog filled eyes

I blinked away tears
and spoke to me
and the world
of the woes i felt

The sun hid its face
the dew went dry
the cold returned
I am content

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

(sigh) Always embrace each new day with a stiff upper lip, sweet friend, this is poignant, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
