In the stillness of the night when thoughts run wild
I lay quietly and ponder life’s joy and sorrow
Many times I wander aimlessly amidst my mind
Searching for any inkling of my tomorrow
Perusing my past in movie theatre form
I view all those things which caused me pain
I have seen my eyes weep mornfully many times
And have wondered if I will ever see the rain
Many comforts lie softly hidden behind those
tears
Yet, somehow I have seemed to make due
Rising in the morning, accepting the sun willingly
I realize at once that I see life with a different view
Could it be that I was meant to suffer strife
To teach me of all those things not mentioned, yet felt
To remind me that life is a gift forever encompassing
Those things which are both eloquent and svelt?
I have experienced the best of both worlds
I have suffered the pain of a discontent lover and more
I have explicitly relished in the joys of being a parent
I wonder what will be behind the next door
Love, hate, happiness, anger, joy and pain
Isn’t that the irony of life that keeps us surmising our path
Each step, continuously pushing us forward into the unknown
180 degree turns, at different times, both ways, you do the math
We are forever coming full circle in life!!
