The Puddle At My Feet

Cast my eyes down
see no shadow
dull reflection
in the puddle
at my feet
I wonder
where has the sun
gone for so long?

Feel my tears run
down my cheek
and drip away
off my chin
I wonder
where has my love
gone for so long

Chase my fears on
don't stop now
just run along
and far away
I wonder
where has courage
gone for so long

Now I'm lost now
gone too far
no way home
feel so astray
I wonder
where has purpose
gone for so long

Hi Yankee4you,
Keep your chin up,and hopefully sunny days are ahead.

This was a sad but well written poem.

makes me think of the song.."raindrops keep falling on my head"

Just remember that "this too shall pass"

Bye now..JG..

Thankfully rain is often followed by sunshine as I'm suure you know Yankee4you. Tears we hope are followed by laughter, so we just need patience....and courage....to complete the cycle....Niah
