To time I am but humble, to the years but just a crumb Unsure still of my future, but so certain what will come Forever on the road of hope with dreams of what could be To awaken to another day and feeling less than free To live life of survival and to do what’s less than sweet To waken to a day of work and not much change to meet To think of others and of self, the picture large or small Is something that must face mankind, effecting one and all? The road of man is trodden deep, is rutted, rough and worn Man’s pathway through existence; from the moment we are born With detours and diversions, with land of green and bare Some rainbow treasures tempting to the sight but never there Upon this road we stumble, on the cracks where others fell Depending on our strength within and faith on way to tell Thirsting on the barren land, then tasting banquet sweet Blessed if we find friendships hand, though many souls we’ll meet Life’s years are short for all of us, our time of youth a blink There’s little time to venture life, yet too much time to think Regrets all fill the basket sitting lonely with our dreams As age gives youth no second chance or genie that redeems So though to time we’re humble, some dreams let us obey Before they turn too distant and their thoughts just creep away For though a crumb we are to years, let’s be a crumb which fed The world a little happiness and hope which it can spread |

Hi Rick Love this poem-tried to write earlier but had to register first. The feelings evoked by your words would be relevant to everyone at times, but I think the last two lines give the reader great comfort..at least they did me.I really believe that it is those crumbs that feed "the world a little happiness" that give us our self worth.
