ain't been here for a while

so will just share a poem


as on and on thru life i go
bewildered by its mighty show
i feel sometimes  -  when i'm alone
that all the joy once known has flown

and in it's place i now find fear
replacing all that once was dear
old and cold i still go on
not content  -  yet heart not gone

for life itself is grand to me
inspite of all the pain i see
and still if i get one more chance
to do something that might enhance

this world a little  -  i'll still try
to keep my head up to the sky
and do the work as well i can
to not betray lifes faith in man
