I don’t know why I write these pondering
Of my souls mournful wanderings

Each day I drag myself out of bed,
Why? I’m trying to get a head

Yet each day I fall farther behind
What’s real slips a bit from my mind

I scratch and crawl my way on
Trying to catch what is so long gone

There is no other recourse that I know
Than to push for the light and let my soul grow

Hope is what drives my inner machine
Looking for life’s luscious green

Someday all that will be mine
And upon livings joy’s I will dine

every day is a new day with which we can change the world

Really enjoy these two lines...they talk to me.  A wondering poem about life.

Very nice. I like how you begin with questioning yourself. Do you know that your answer is in your signature?

Hope and courage, these are of which you write... Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
