Can You See Me

CAN YOU SEE ME

I see through eyes that ever tire

Good things have come my way

The thirst for life and happiness

My youth was yesterday

How did I age when time has stopped

And nothing really changed

Just the shell that stores my soul

The years have rearranged

The one I was, will always be

My dreams are still the same

The life I breathed so long ago

Within me still remains

Those who see me,  judge me now

They cannot realize

Deep within I have survived

The years have made me wise

Time has taught me to believe

To seek my higher self

I recognize what matters most

And wherein lies my wealth

Although I suffer aches and pains

I often cannot see

Senses dulled through years of wear

My spirit sets me free

Do not pity me today

I’ve traveled many miles

My life is full of memories

Which often make me smile

As time grows near I’ll walk the path

That leads me to my home

Angels will be by my side

I’ll never be alone.

I have always loved writing, but it has been over the last few years that I have been guided through poetry to reach out to others. I write about loss, love, hope and any other emotions that might affect our lives. I believe the spirit within guides me in my writing. I invite you to send me your thoughts and comments. Thank you.
