From all the bricks that I have laid From all the difference I have made I still feel I’m not home All the promised days I’ve missed Of love that I still reminisce I sit here still alone Time, oh precious time now lost I dream of, but still pay the cost And feel I’m now too late Decisions made are sometimes wrong And take us where we don’t belong But that does seem my fate On and on, a day, a week Tomorrow’s sun and love I seek But will they come my way? I’m humble and my soul is bare I’m looking for some hope to share And find that place to stay |

ya know, when I feel like this Rick, and quit often I admit, I think of people like Christopher Reeve, those enduring cancer, kemo, knowing their time is alloted...and I see how they begin to glow, not reliving the past, but living...knowing, we all make mistakes that cannot be undone...and wishing they could, is taking very positive energy and literally spending it foolishly? Well, that's what gets me through the words I feel like your magnificant poem this morning... |

I still feel I’m not home ~*~ I've lived that feeling all my life. [lives?] Someday I'll know when it's right. |

Dear Rick, this is so moving... I so enjoy reading your works, though this, a bit on the sad side, still a glimmer of hope that I attach to. |
