setback

I'm trying to move on, but had a "set back" today.
Sitting at my piano playing "Fire and Rain"

It's my favorite song of all times
I can't help it, it makes me cry

"Well look down upon me Jesus, you got to help me make a stand. You just got to see me through another day."

I know, "my time is at hand."

I feel like a failure, in love and life.
I do okay at work, but some how I lost my wife.

I had a girlfriend of a year and some months.
I thought I was going to "shoot the moon", but she threw a trump.

So just a minor setback, I need to get on track.
I have to search within my soul to determine what I lack.

My spirit calls to the heavens above
I love the idea of being in love.

It is sad to have loved and lost. I think we all have experienced that pain in one form or another. It's hard to move on sometimes so it is important that you know if you are emotionally ready to do so. I do like your poems and you are a sweetheart. The most important lessen that I think we can learn is to concentrate on the things that we have the power to change and accept those that we can't change.
