From all the bricks that I have laid
From all the difference I have made
I still feel I’m not home
All the promised days I’ve missed
Of love that I still reminisce
I sit here still alone

Time, oh precious time now lost
I dream of, but still pay the cost
And feel I’m now too late
Decisions made are sometimes wrong
And take us where we don’t belong
But that does seem my fate

On and on, a day, a week
Tomorrow’s sun and love I seek
But will they come my way?
I’m humble and my soul is bare
I’m looking for some hope to share
And find that place to stay

ya know, when I feel like this Rick, and quit often I admit, I think of people like Christopher Reeve, those enduring cancer, kemo, knowing their time is alloted...and I see how they begin to glow, not reliving the past, but living...knowing, we all make mistakes that cannot be undone...and wishing they could, is taking very positive energy and literally spending it foolishly?

Well, that's what gets me through the words I feel like your magnificant poem this morning...

I still feel I’m not home

~*~

I've lived that feeling
all my life. [lives?]



Someday I'll know
when it's right.

Dear Rick, this is so moving...
I so enjoy reading your works, though this, a bit on the sad side, still a glimmer of hope that I attach to.
