(This came to mind the other night. Couldn’t sleep so…..
It’s a song – think slow country ballad)

Now I’m tired and I’m weary
And I can’t understand
Why there’s no peace of mind these days
These days…
***
There are times that I wanted to just fade away
Things are just not the way that I planned
But each mornin’ I get up to face the new day
Smile, and do the things that I can…, I can
***
All the hopes that I dreamed of
were all made of sand
And slipped through my fingers
Slipped away…, away
***
There are times that I wanted to just fade away
Things are just not the way that I planned
But each mornin’ I get up to face the new day
Smile, and do the things that I can…, I can
***
I can see theres no use to cry and complain
Things are not gonna change that way…, that way
Doin’ life’s hard work’s the only way to gain
Gotta work before I can play

I was thinking the same thing as Cindy (great minds think alike LOL) It’s very self-reflective and shows a certain understanding of life. (My opinion only)
😀
You are so good Paul! You should compile a book of your poetry!
Seriously!
😉
You can and you do! Because you, “have promises to keep and miles to go before you sleep!” Hugz~
That is one of my very favorite poems, Cindy. Haven’t read it for a while. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Wow. Powerful and heartfelt.
