Sometimes we sit and wonder why

Joseph Cooper 1950 (VICKSBURG, MS)



There will be times when you will sit back, look and think about your past.

After doing this, you will come to the conclusion that your life is moving quite fast.

The next step in your memory  observation, is how long will this life of mine truly last.

Putting aside all your differences and looking back at goals, you're hoping that your life will have purpose before you pass.

Life is never easy, you learn each an every day.

Finding strength within yourself for self expression and with words that say.

A piece of the puzzle is all that we really are.

The big picture we seek is laid out among the stars.

About this poem

We all sit and daydream about our past, present and future. Wishing what we could of or should of done. Making mistakes are just learning tools that help and shape us. We are all students in the school of Life.
