I always believed
I would do more I would do more with my life,
Be a better provider, A better listener, A better example.
A better parent
Higher my education, higher my standards
Most of all, spend quality time with my family.
At a table, under trees, near a river, at the museum.
Leaving the past behind, keeping a positive
outlook for the future,
As the string to hold this all together
I would have Faith.
Bonds that tie, unconditional love.
Last night I realized, this may be unrealistic,
I have grown tired, feel misused,
at times useless, and lonely, wondering if
I make any difference,
Today, I pray for new inspiration, a smile
is enough, I pray to hold onto the willingness
To be willing to keep trying …
