Sometimes the things closest to us
are farthest from our reach
we strive for them
we wait for them
we put our hearts belief in them
sometimes we deserve them
often we just need them
sometimes on lifes path
we may stumble
we may fall
we will get hurt
there will be laughter and tears
and occassionaly a pain so searing
it can take your breath away
sometimes life is not lived
the world can stop
and you find yourself lost
alone in the darkness
we will seek out the light
and try to learn from our mistakes
sometimes we have to reach deep within
and tell ourselves
we will be ok, we will make it
sometimes we will believe it
we will be vulnerable
lonely and weak
we will search for strength
sometimes we may find it
sometimes we will give up hope
when hope is all we have
we will cling to the little things
and take solace in them
sometimes everything will work out
exactly as it is meant to
and sometimes
that's exactly what we want
sometimes....
