Another Try...

the sun seems to be setting soon...

so i guess i’ll take an evening walk...  

as the sun slowly gives way to the moon...

my inner self begins to talk...

i ponder on things that are on my mind...

 as i feel the winds blowing strongly my way...

emotions take over and i suddenly find...

myself feeling the way when i wrote "Astray"...

forgiveness - contempt...

hurt, pain and sorrow...

resentment - bitter silence...

then tears soon follow...

i lift my head up and look to the sky...

and see a bird flying freely up so high...

it inspires me to believe and not ask "why"...

just believe, have faith, & to give love...

another try...

it isnt how many times you fail it is how whether you get up when your knocked down that makes a man

[N!LoC]

well... i guess i am more of a "man" than i give myself credit for :-)

[Tate Morgan]

A man can always take comfort
from the things he must abide
To look in the mirror fallen
then to say at least i tried!
