He goes about his merry way nothing's ever wrong smile a warm hello the textbook day I wish I could be like him his life has a plan on track years of work membership at the gym Beautiful wife and children big house with pillars warm he makes good money and she's a Volvo driving soccer mom Everything you could want retirement, security Love friends, family vacations, trips to wherever But... You dont see inside him in his mind sadness needing more cant seem to find happiness Every day as he walks smiling on his way searching lost in life no idea where to turn That big smile translates to one thing confusion he is too proud to ask for help and direction Inside, his soul is burning his mind is idle blank noisy bright dark loud wanting, empty... searching for the answers "How are you today?" "Good thank you." he replied with a smile and lost eyes... "All you have to do is ask" replied God. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

Very good! No, really...VERY GOOD! I've noticed before the people who pass by, whether it be at the grocery store, sitting at a red light...wherever...and I've actually "looked" at them. The outside picture is not even a hint as to what a person has inside them. You never know. I enjoyed reading this, it flowed very nicely in thought. McLean |

We shake our heads too easily ignoring that deep inner voice inside us...just waiting... Well done, Sir! |

That is a very great in depth poem. You did a great job on giving the details on how someone can be overlooked and not know their true insides.. Hope to see more |
