I look for the truth as I follow deception Seek happiness neath the darkest of skies Whistle a tune when my last breath is leaving Accept the pain as the mourning dove cries
Call out your name when the echoes defeat me Stand on my mark while I’m pushed to the side Harbor my strength in a weakened dimension Live everyday when it feels I have died
Chasing a dream that is still running faster Lost in the scene fading farther from sight Penning a poem with hope you will read it Sending some love in the words that I write
Then if I see I have made your life better Squinting my eyes in your bright smile’s glow I’ll walk away as a teardrop is falling With a goodbye that I wish was hello
