Beside me sits my conscience; at times not such a friend For when I find the strength to change my better self won’t bend So back I sit within a place of promises to be With conscience watching every move and keeping tabs on me One life they tell me, live it well, don’t let it all pass by I feel the wisdom of those words and even though I try I cannot rid the weight of life, which sits upon my back And though I try, I cannot find the simple things I lack By and by they disappear, the years of life, our time And though we search for what we seek, we may not find a sign So onwardly we journey, climb mountains to their peak And though around our life we see, we’re blind to what we seek So let one day beget the next and play this game of life Let the conscience worry more about some other strife Lets share the weight of everyday among the friends we know Then in life we’ll share a joy, no matter where we go |

One life they tell me, live it well, don’t let it all pass by I feel the wisdom of those words and even though I try I cannot rid the weight of life, which sits upon my back And though I try, I cannot find the simple things I lack smiling affectionately and with guilt...truly know the jest of this...it's a lifetime uphill climb, for every three steps forward, you take 6 back... a very good friend of mine, who is since passed on, used to tell me...the evil one is working overtime to get every kittin kaboodle he can.... Hugs my friend, wishing you the best...you depict life having it's way with us very well! |

ah the simple things...I miss them too. They seem harder to find as age sets in. I love this poem Rick. I'm so glad you're back. |
