I SIT AND PONDER

 

Sometimes I have thoughts in my head,

But it’s living I’ll never dread!

And I enjoy life I’ll have to say –

Nothing better than waking – up today!

 

Sometimes I sit and ponder for hours,

And I think of those in ivory towers –

Then I ask, “Do they care about me?”

I bet it’s reality that they seldom see!

 

Sometimes I just let the world pass on by

Because all I can do is sigh . . .

It’s hard to figure what’s it’s all about,

Then I end up filled with endless doubt!

 

But all in all my glass is still half full –

And over my eyes the wool you may pull,

But in life we have to deal with the pain,

Just remember we’re not all the same!
