Skies Of Blue
What Am I Suppose To Do ?
Another day has come
I am not one step closer to my goals
Than three years ago
I have tried
It was as if I was watching grass grow
Patience my friend
Living in the moment
I get it
Making plans and slowly deciding the right choices to follow
Time waits for no man
In that time many changes have happened
I am surrounded by work
The job that I continue to do
My old manager has also left this world
Other managers have come and gone
Employees have changed as well
For the good
It's to soon to tell
My dreams have been realized many times
I practice them in my sleep
Our wonderful neighbors have moved
A whole new life change
A friend of the family
I visit three times weekly
Now has made a nursing home
Her new home
My favorite aunt has also moved to assisted living
My own mother is no longer with us
For she was the last of my parents to go
So what if our desires our so great
They can not be concieved in the world that we know
In the news tradegy continues to strike
From the Boston Marathon bombing to movie theatre and church shootings
The news is a twisted mess
For it some how reflects the wrong people
That have nothing better to do
Than ruin the lives of the good and the innocent
Isn't it our obligation
To do all we can
To make this world a better place
Than once we first came
I know deep in my heart
Love is the only thing that matters
For it carries us through
I dismiss my doubts
For they cause nothing but havoc
I dig deep into my emotions and what do I see
The world around me in a rainbow of colors
When other people are happy with shades of grey
Why are they settling for less
Why aren't they still trying
Blending the both together to make the perfect match
I am confident as my will has grown stronger
As I watch my own family member suffer
With health issues he has over come
Every obstacle in his way
Thank God
It's a miracle he is with us today
My life struggles are so minuscule
To what other people face
I can comprehend that
The facts remain the same
It doesn't change my thought process
There is so much more to life
Than what meets the eye
Why ?
Do so many people sleep
While life passes them bye
The young are to naive
The old are not able
The middle are too busy
Raising their own families
The rich are wealthy
The poor struggle
The middle class is all I have ever known
I had a basic foundation of a good education
Going through twelve years of school
Then on to a junior college
It is now up to me
To learn things that were not taught In school
Trying to understand many life lessons
That seem harsh and cruel
I will find the silver lining
I have good news
It's really gold
So I try in another way
To say
In a poem
Turned into a story
What I have tried many times before
They say one door shuts another door opens
I stand here with a garage door opener in my hand
To make sure I open all the doors
That other people can't see
Including me
