Lost Looking For Myself |

In those days when I was younger I searched around for my direction But at each and every turning I thought I saw the same reflection. And when I felt I’d found the answer Another question would arise And off I would go once again Chasing rainbow colored skies. It seems I was never satisfied Or happy with the things I had I kept letting things slip away Or trading the good for the bad. I was blessed with more than most With those who loved me as I was But that never seemed enough for me And stupid is, as stupid does. With my selfish reasoning I thought there was a better way As I kept putting off the debts I knew someday, I’d have to pay. So, while looking for myself I found I was hopelessly lost And there’s no way to place a value On what my futile quest has cost. I know now that I have found All, that I’ve been searching for But then, I left it all behind me To see beyond just one more door. Del "Abe" Jones |
