The Swing Of Life

SWISH! I can see the stars,
SWISH! And now I see the grass..
With only the sound of wind against my back.
I travel going high, then I go low,
On this swing of life.

No one to tell me how high to go,
Or which way to look.
Only the wind to guide me
And to push me afloat.
On this little swing of life.

SWOOSH! I now have hopes and dreams!
Just at my fingertips , but barely out of reach!
SWOOSH! I start all over again to try to catch it.
Try not to grow faint of heart each stroke I make
On my little swing of life.

Now that I'm older, my locks have turned white
Life's not so much about the highs and lows,
But now I'm here just for the ride.
Till the day I breathe my last breath, I'll enjoy the scenery.
On my little ride I call the swing of life.

Life

I always thought life would be just as I wanted it for me. I just let it happen without a plan and I would proceed as I began.

Starting Over

I’m trying to find something to base my life upon, Something in this strange world that goes on and on. As the years go by and time fades away, What used to be "good days" are now filled with dismay.

I've Grown Up.

Looking in the mirror, I see all that I've been, All the different people, My meagre years have seen.

Just A Tiny Little Seashell.

A shell upon a shingle beach, Hiding, yet to be found, Use sandy grains to scour your dreams, Feet firmly on the ground, Reality's a fact of life, It's charred your innocence, The harshest words and...

My Best Friend

Today I found a friend, Who knew everything I felt, She knew my every weakness, And problems I've been dealt. She understood my wonders, And listened to my dreams.

Puzzle Of Life

Little pieces, scattered all over the floor. Different shapes, bold colors, I've never seen before. Frantically trying to put them all as one, Slowly figuring out there are some that shouldn't be...
