Take Heart

 

Here I sit in the sun on the old front door stoop
Thinking about some hot chicken soup
Had a good day on Friday and a not so good night
But like Travis Tritt said, “I’m just doin alright”

 

Now not every day’s great. Some are better than others
But all things considered if I had my druthers
I’d druther be breathing and watching the sky
Than mopin and crying and and shouting Why? Why?

 

Got some white puffy clouds movin in slow
And a nice western breeze staring to blow
Life is funny and tough with big ups and big downs
Sometimes you feel like you’re wearin a crown

 

And other times you’re a pauper so poor
Your clothes are too worn to wear anymore
That bright horizon is dark and depressing
You spend most your time just fretting and stressing

 

They say, “Pull yourself by your bootstraps old son
‘Course, you ain’t got no bootstraps, just a saddle and gun
But you dig deep at that point. Just as deep as you can
And you look for that spark that makes you a man

 

If you’re lucky, you find it and fan it to flame
And stop all your constantly looking for blame
Because life is a challenge as it’s meant to be
So look for that spark. It just might set you free

 

Free to enjoy those white puffy clouds
Free to look back on your life and be proud
Free to move on with a smile on your face
Free to move on to a happier place

 

That happy place might be a bit hard to find
It’s a place of the heart and place of the mind
Those mythical bootstraps exist in your soul
Like those bright shining diamonds that used to be coal

 

Just sit quietly and watch those white clouds
And say to yourself, “I think I’m allowed 
Allowed to be happy and work through this mess
And toss off that worry and soul killing stress

 

Hell no, it’s not easy. It’s takes work and pain
To get back to a place where you’re happy again
You may not be as happy as one time you were
But it beats sinking down into darkness for sure

 

Now this ain’t advice though it might seem to be
Just the thoughts of an old worn out geezer like me
I’ve seen some real bad times and I’m just sayin now
This is how I worked through all those bad times somehow

 

Turns out that I could over time persevere
And discover it’s actually good to be here
Wherever “here” is will be different for each
But take heart and believe me, it is within reach
