Fitting In


Recalling words and feelings spent
the past, over but never forgotten
as words bring up pain, families torn
deaths too many and aging
just a matter of life...

A time of thanks soon coming,
to share what once was, what is
and what will be...but alone
among the others

wondering if I can do it

Always hearing there is strength
seen by others

wondering why I don't see it that way

Feeling tormented by the tears
that have ripped apart hearts
by words that should never have been felt
or  spoken  or  shown
through those trying times

Thanksgiving will come and go
The hurts will do the same
and another year will pass me by

and I wonder how I fit in.

We all fit in somewhere, eventually.  Your write reminds me of so much time long since past.  Every line was great.  Steve.

M..I know...

every year things change just a little...
Seems that one of the nest dies just about
every year..as each of them grows much
older.  And kids are growing into adults or
are adults...and feelings sometimes surface
that should have never broken the earth
above them...tense times,  when thanx should
be given for what we have...if only it were
so easy.

Hugs to ya and best to you at your day of
Thanksgiving...
