~
Am I old but still young?
Do sweet tastes still please my tongue?
Am I bold with my words?
Can they soar like singing birds?
If I hide, to not be seen
Will I know what it’s to mean?
If I show I can be strong
Will they never send help along?
If this battle is to be won
Will I feel relieved when it is done?
Can I continue to hope?
Will it help me learn to cope?
Can I feel my love is true
If it consumes all that I do?
Every day is a new start
I won’t let fear close off my heart
We all put on a brave face
And continue the rat race
All we can do is our best
When life feels like one big test
I may steer out of my lane
But can find purpose through the pain
I know joy belongs to me
Even in times when hard to see
