To try

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)

Free verse
To try
Is to cry
For a better life

Always there
But not too near
But there none the less

So keep reaching
Even though you miss
Keep looking to touch

A feeling within
Will always be there
So don't give up

To try
Is to succeed
In whatever you do.
