Today I watched the world Rolling along like an applecart Every apple that fell to the floor Resembled a part of me Many were ripe and full of life While some were small and colourless And as the cart bobbled along Its wheels seemed to lift Then fall to the ground Like my soul frequently does When I think of my existence But then the cart gets faster And the apples seem sturdier They don’t fall down as much Seeming to acceptance the rocky road Till finally they’re settled Nicely snuggled together Making me smile and believe That the world isn’t as bad as it seems
