I've been in despair
that is why
I cherish dreams

defeat has been handed to me
and you wonder why
I relish achievement

I've had lonely, lonely nights
now I can appreciate
love

so good when we are open to goodness in our lives, no matter how desperate our past selves may have been.
I welcome your light and renewal that you speak of

Although I am very old, seventy-four, Eric, I am living in complete peace with myself so much I feel so very much younger. Thank, my friend, for stopping by.

good one, Jerry . . . I find yesterday was beautiful; Today: well lets just say today could definitely be better; and tomorrow I dread because it'll just be more of today.

I hope you will be proven wrong about tomorrow, but if it isn't you know what they say about broken eggs . . . make an omelet. Appreciate the comment.
