I See I See

Alan D Carter 1963 (Omaha, Neb)

Free verse
I see, I see
What it is to be. Is life then death
all that’s in store for me.
Is sight more than seeing, what life has in store for me.
To live without love all there is for me.
I found someone, better than I hoped it would be.
On second thought life is worth living.
I see, I see.
