Happy In The Sadness

14 Jan 2017

Mental Journey
So many times I drew you near
A hug to cover what's in my heart
Hiding all the worry and fear
Of how you will survive without me

You never see past the end of the day
You don't understand, my family's history
Of cancer, heart disease, and dementia
Will one day com and take me away,

Today is different, as you both smile so nice
While leaving to go about your day
and not thinking about the snow and ice,
I realize I am happy in the sadness
Of knowing, finally, you don't need me.

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
