To Hear Them in a Crowd
I chase the past or it seeks me,
At times it seems both ways.
The bad parts always seem to be
More frequent and ablaze!
The good parts have to fight the rest.
They need more help to "live".
I must try hard with thoughts that blessed
Before each time I give
Attention that they do require
To hear them in a crowd
Before those thoughts start to expire
Because of those so loud!
