Reflection
14yrs the cracks start to happen
Few years later twisted
Wow the cracks widen
Down hill down hill never ending flow
Pain life and where do I go .
The book of life I had been writing
So blank nothing to show
I'm holding a pencil pages are .....
Nothing to show .
Now I'm 51 with 12 grandchildren to show
Life is always worth living
No matter how low you go
I now hold my pages and my pencil with pride
I live my life with pain but I never want to hide .
