I lost myself some years ago Wandering aimlessly to and fro I thought my life was incomplete I could not seem to find my feet Looking back, I wonder how I could not see what I see now There they were before my eyes But I heard not their plaintive cries The very thing for which I sought I threw away, without a thought As I searched, the distance grew My point of aim terribly askew They say with knowledge, wisdom grows I've learned a lot, and heaven knows My sights are set, I'm back on track My rounds are striking in the black Now my life is still quite incomplete But thankfully I've found my feet I know my path with certanty Is a wider one, made for three Frances, Larrah, and Me "The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time" ~James taylor~ [This message has been edited by allamericanjoe (12-02-2003 11:50 PM).] |

Joe, This is absolutely lovely...words that I understand so well. I am trying to keep my feet firmly grounded in the wisdom I have gained. Sounds as if you got both of yours planted where they should be. Love this verse! Patricia |

You're in a better place than I. The knowledge you write of is hard fought, and your poem is inspiring as much as it is insigtful. Peace to you Joe~ and thanks. |

Sounds like we graduated from the same school You know the one. Hard Knocks High. You seem to have it together where it really counts!  Love, Terri~  |
