A Thought
Life is so full of pain each day
Walking thru footsteps I left behind
Seeing things you have no control of
Retracing thoughts of all different kinds
To get thru life I must find a way
To make the young child happy at last
To express my emotions, cares, and desires
To shield him from the hurts of the past
I must get on with my life and find a new day
I must bury the footprints and walk them no more
In the shadows of a past life that's gone forever
To set sail and find life on a new shore.
Walking thru footsteps I left behind
Seeing things you have no control of
Retracing thoughts of all different kinds
To get thru life I must find a way
To make the young child happy at last
To express my emotions, cares, and desires
To shield him from the hurts of the past
I must get on with my life and find a new day
I must bury the footprints and walk them no more
In the shadows of a past life that's gone forever
To set sail and find life on a new shore.

Don't let people discourage you to not write. It was only a few minor easily fixed things that brought the poem down... It was wonderful. :)
