Graves
Graves
While looking out the window
At dreams that can't come true,
I see someone staring back,
Looking just as blue.
While riding through the valley
Lost in deep despair,
I see another's shadow
Riding over there.
Treading on the dead-white bones
Of hope beneath my feet,
I meet a long forgotten man
Wrapped in sorrow's sheet.
Of all the hopes and plans I left
Buried in the past,
I find the graves are crowded with
Other's that I passed.
With the trying times everyone is going through, I thought I would repost this to remind people that
no matter how bad off we may be. there are others in worse shape. Michael's poem I read day before yesterday
reminded me of this, so I tip my hat to you Michael.
