When in doubt, blame the Levaquin I'm on...
I've made obvious mistakes along the way
Been afraid to take chances
Burned some bridges
Through it all, I've come out of it
Unable to change what has happened
Yet able to act in spite of it
I've been given a gift
The question is discovering it
And being courageous enough to utilize it
In spite of the obstacles
And what the odds are
For I have gone down this path before
My path may be less traveled
And scattered with detours
But my soul says start the journey
Today and not waste a minute more
For life is short
Through darkness comes light
I will not give up this fight
Living in a world of wonder
New stories, new faces, new places
Books be my guide
For the focused voice provides
Food for my mind, that idle chatter
Could never provide.
A stroke of the pen
And so continues
The story of my life
Me myself and I
Yet a far cry
From what my original vision suggested
Be cool, relax, go out there
But never come back here
For the names will be different
And the stories will too
Yet the winner in me
Chooses to rise
and no longer be blue
The clock keeps on ticking
We must never forget
The legacy we weave
Please don't close up shop
I'm not ready to leave...
