Long And Lonesome Days
I Sat And Watched The Sunrise,
Changing Colours Of The Sky.
The Long Dark Night Receded,
As Did The Stars On High.
I Wondered What This Day Would Bring,
Would It be Different From The Rest.
Or Would It Be Another Day,
When My Mind Refused To rest.
So Many Thoughts Would Flash Within,
The Deepest Of My Mind.
Seems My Life's A Struggle,
For Peace Somehow To Find.
I Should Be Oh So Grateful,
For The Life That I Have Had.
Remember All The Good Times,
Forget About The Bad.
But Bad Times Seem To Haunt Me,
I Cannot Understand.
Why My Life Did Somehow Alter,
From The One That I Had Planned.
I Try Just To Accept It,
The Lord Knows That I Do Try.
But It Seems That I Will Never,
Know The Reasons Why.
And Every Day Seems Longer,
Than The One That's Gone Before.
I Sometimes Feel I'm Simply Waiting,
At Some Locked And Unseen Door.
Is It The Door To Heaven,
Or Am I Dammed To Hell.
How Many Lonesome Days Are Left,
Guess Only Time Will tell.
Time Seems So Irrelevant,
It's Just Another Day.
At Times I Simply Close My Eyes,
Release Me, Lord I Pray.
For No Man Should Have To Suffer,
With None On Which To Lean.
Not Knowing Where He's Going,
Not Sure Where He Has Been.
It Just Seems So Very Pointless,
To Be Upon This Earth.
Unless You Have A Reason,
Or Chance To Prove Your Worth.
But My Life's Been Cursed Somehow,
Was It Something That I Did.
For No Matter What I Try To Do,
This Pain I Cannot Rid.
Seems I Am Left To Carry,
My Aching All Life Through.
For Now Too Many Years Have Gone,
To Begin My Life Anew.
So Time For Me Will Just Go On,
Everything Just Stays.
As It Has Been For So Long,
Full Of Long And Lonesome Days.
