Alone

We never want to admit we are solo
We establish bonds and make friends
Yet, truth is, we’re ships at sea, navigating, what do we know
Our bonds, our connections end

I need, I want to see
See importance in front of me

What is it that we strive for, desire
Years pass and I tire

Happy, a place I do not know
Relevance, put it in place
Weakness, need, I can’t show
Decisions made, it’s a disgrace

Where to turn, where to go
I
Do
Not
Know

Starting

Starting again, a new chapter, new beginnings,new challenges
Can’t be complacent, can’t be sure, can’t be content
Life moves and we need to have balance
Balance our obligations and our desires, never resent

Seems easy for some, yet a struggle for most
Needing a purpose, a place, this existence seems wasted
What path, what journey should I take, I feel choked
Breathe, Breathe it will work, your destiny is or will be satiated

Move, move forward and don’t look back
Stay the course, diverge as needed, but never slack

Live strong
Love long

Explore

Explore, explore, and explore some more, see past, look beyond, explore
For that is where life’s treasures are that’s for sure
Tragic is a life spent unknown
Step out, seek, never stay down
It’s near, it always is, behind a “curtain” you just need to see
Then your world will change, you will simply be
Leave no stone, don’t be alone or afraid
Live a life, be in, know that you played
Participate, and be all that is you
Time runs constantly so choose
Make a decision to not be silent or a castaway
Go forward, live, tomorrow, tomorrow is a new day

Timeless

Funny we all worry about our time
Time for this, time for that, clock watching, for what
All that matters is the experiences, the wine
Wine as a metaphor, good times, people, no rut

Surround yourself with friends and love
Stay true, be you and be alive
Walk, run, through this life, a destiny determined above
Stop pleasing, stop doing, time waits for no one, survive

Survive and be the best you
No waiting, time is now, your due

Failed

It’s difficult to realize that you may have let you child down
Life moves, we have a perspective that we build up
How couldn’t I have known, why didn’t I see, I was around
It’s very tough

I wanted to be an excellent parent but I somewhat failed
Failed to adapt, failed to learn
Time to move on and try to prevail
Show I can do better, time to turn

Turn, yeah… change a few things and hope our future improves
Time… time… sands falling, got to see clear
Time to change, make some moves
My children, they don’t know how much I need them near

Not near as in living , near as in life
Failing them is failing me
I have lived, I have advice
Experience, journey’s, I just want them to see

See a man, a father they can trust
That is a must

Paths
Worn. Well traveled. Not one I seek
My choice, my life I want to breathe
At times it’s not for the meek
Strength and courage it takes, and never leave

Don’t leave your choices don’t leave your past
Carry on, sustain and maintain
Enjoy your days, as they grow shorter, time moves fast
In the end there will be no one to blame

We all have a path, it comes from within
Be smart, be thoughtful, forge ahead
Spend your time enjoying and laughing
Walk the path and don’t look back and wonder “instead”

Instead of this or that
No going back
See life see friends,
family intact
Certainly all that matters
Ends

Unsettled

So strange the roads we choose
The journey’s we embark
We hope we pray, that we don’t lose
Lose our way, our sight, it can be dark

Troubled is a state I live
Guessing, wandering, why
Just trying to love, to give
I hope I make an impact before I die

Never have I been one to hide
My world, my feelings are there to be seen
Wishing I had someone to confide
Life it seems has some irony, I ponder my dream
