Old Pictures

A strange mood has come over me

One of sadness but not quite

Grief has a soul of it’s own

It must had visited me in the night

I have lost so much in my life

Yet gained the blessings of the sweetest friends

Still I feel as if I don’t quite measure up

Lost somewhere on a road that never ends

I haven’t walked the way of others so much

Not the life of the party I guess

I’m an old soul with ingrained traits

And trusting to much has made me a mess

Seeing the old pictures of times long ago

That mingle with the pictures of now

Grabs my heart with such grief

Yet on I must go

God please show me how

I wait for a future that may never come

Promises are broken when reality steps forth

Can’t go back to pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So sadness and regret dwindle my worth

I see others twirling on life’s dance floor

Enjoying many things but still I wait

Can’t chisel in stone what is to come

Hopefully my last dance won’t be to late

So i sit here holding my grieving heart again

Seeing old pictures of sweet love yet sorrow

I wander back over my life’s path of memories

Of lost yesterdays, today, and maybe tomorrows.
