I gazed ahead to the towering heights Of the mountains far away. Their peaks were bright With the sun's white light At the dawning of the day.
The sky above was very blue And even the mountainside Had grass that grew With a bluish hue Displaying steadfast pride.
Yes blue it was and will always be. The horizon's always blue. Thought it may look bright And laced with light, The truth will still show through.
Though I've got pride in what I've done And all I hope to do, When I see the sun I see no fun In horizons that look so blue.

About this poem:
I wrote this many, many years ago after going to boot camp in the Army 3 weeks after my 17th birthday at my parents strong urging. Finishing boot camp and in AIT with news that I was going to be stationed in Germany, I felt like a very lost person being jostled through life like a cow through a chute, vowing to do my best but not know nor understanding nor even really hoping for happiness. I was just thinking about my life's journey and remembering some of the beginnings, I thought I'd share.
