Why Am I here ?

Our minds explore the mysteries of life
especially, as the end draws near;
our purpose is clouded in darkest night;
dear Lord; why am I here?

I’ve witnessed the sunsets; so many times;
watched new dawns, come into view;
when will the Master close all

To All Those I’ve Hurt

What can I do, to escape my despair;
when depression takes control?
I feel nothing, but emptiness, everywhere;
while sorrows inhabit my soul.

I sense a cloud; surrounding my being;
the background becomes my home;
no longer do I wish to be heard or

One Step From Eternity

In depression; I looked upon a world, below;
tempted to leave life’s fraternity;

Reunion’s Eve

My sixtieth reunion, awaits me tomorrow;

Freedom Of Choice

The journey’s been long; and I’m so tired,
