Dealing With Life

Please give me room don’t crowd me I need my own space Just a little corner of the world So my life I can retrace I need the peace and quiet So my mind can drift So I can try to remember That life is a precious gift I know that in my early years There was much I didn’t know But it was my teenage years When I began to grow That’s when so much changed so fast I thought I’d lose my way Life at times was a blur As time zipped through each day The adult years came on quickly Responsibilities became so many Every time I turned around Things to do were so plenty I always felt as time went on Life would get a little easy But that’s like saying a hurricane’s wind Are just a little breezy The more I journey into adulthood The more confused I became I thought my life would be simple Is there someone I can blame? But I know no one’s to blame It’s just the course of life But I always wonder Does everyone feel this strife? So I’ll continue to struggle on I’ll hold my hear up high But I will not apologize If now and then I must cry 11-15-05/RJH © 10-23-10/RJH
