I have promises to keep
and many miles to go
before I can sleep and I take pride
in how far I have come
without coming totally undone
from events and people
that no human should ever
have to face but I am finally free
of those poor choices
and bad places and know
that I am not yet done
and that I have found
the sun.

We lead such fragile lives
and I have to remind myself
that nothing is too good to be true
and my hopes can be realized
and my most wonderful dreams
can and will come true
and that there really is
no more need to be blue
because she knows
just what to do.

There is still so much to see
and so much to do
before I am done but our time
runs short and I know
that I have been blessed
beyond belief and she
comes to me with great relief
causing me to realize that
I am not yet done
and that together we will
see that sun.
and along the way
have some fun.                Jon York                  2012
