Must have a goal
Go get that thing
What if I want
To stop and sing

Retreat inside
Wait out the storm

Else feel the wrath
Of nature scorned

Instead a kid
I wish to be
To feel alive
And so carefree


Each drip, each drop
Upon my head
Wish I could splash
In rain instead


I'd watch the sky
Explode with light
A warming joy
Not filled with fright

When did I lose
Sight of it all
Predictable
Pattern I fall


Start living in
Every moment
Past and future
Wasted and spent

Granted a new
Chance I'm given
Can not redo
But start living

Each day awake
Fresh start; Can be

World's my oyster
Alive and free

I don't walk alone,
God walks with me,
One day I asked him,
"Lord you walk with me,
In my good times and bad times,
I only see two pairs of footprints in my good times,
In my very bad,troubled  days you are not there."
"Child, the footprints you see in your troubled days are mine.
During your bad phase I carried you."
