SOMETIMES

Debra K Middaugh (TURBO1904) 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



    Sometimes it's hard to hear the words that were spoken,
Sometimes you can not fix what is broken.

     Sometimes you have to believe in your dreams,
Sometimes things are seldom as they seem.

     Sometimes you need the facts, the raw truth,
Sometimes you feel something is wrong with our youth.

     Sometimes it is hard to get thru the day,
Sometimes the one leading has lost his way.

     Sometimes you bite more then you can chew,
Sometimes you have to paddle your own canoe.

     Sometimes things will go as planned,
Sometimes your going to need a helping hand.

     Sometimes you can not handle what comes your way,
Sometimes you want to run, But you stay.

     Sometimes you hit a wall, your in a slump,
Sometimes your wife leaves you for a man with a stump.
