In times past... I have many times blundered; Stepping aside; admitting I was wrong. I have sat on many a mountain and wondered, Remembering the words to my life's song. In times past... I have had many a dream; Patience has given me the opportunity of most. I've learned that difficult is not as it would seem, As gratuity always likes to play main host. In times past... I have seen plenty of hate; People passing it around in every way. I have often wondered if it were too late, To see love resurface at the break of day. In times past... I have let some dreams go by; Only to gain strength as I continue to grow. I have recently found in the warmth of your eyes, The strength and ambition I used to know. In times past... I was confident and sly; Winning in all that I tried throughout life. I have since found that this did not die, As your presence has ended my strife. (Where are you?) |
