I Take Every Step

© Copyright Jan Richards All rights reserved

I take every step gingerly

Like the careful step of an old woman

With dry and brittle bones

I take every step though difficult

I must forge ahead

I take every step

Bent and beaten by the issues of life

Head raised high, refused to be defeated

Like a man in command

I take every step

Trying not to look back

I must keep on moving

Irrespective of what life

Throws my way

Message in the Bottle

I sat by the window pane

Watching the world go by

Thinking about unfulfilled dreams

So many questions to ask

Yet no answers

My heart heavy with the burden

My eyes heavy with unshed tears

I feel all alone

Bearing this burden

Then I heard the whispers of the song

That confirms am not alone in this journey

Those hundreds of letters

That came back

With the message in the bottle
