I Can See

I know through writing poetry

I won’t accumulate much wealth

but then again how can you put

a price on your health.

By writing my thoughts down

I can free them from my head

then new ones can arrive that

don’t fill me with as much dread.

Life can be hard enough

without worrying about tomorrow

or thinking about your past

and the reasons for your sorrow.

After many years I found

what works for me,

it took a long time but finally I can see.
