These poems were written about 8 years ago one week apart
THERE ARE TIMES A
There are times when life is hard
And I feel a failure
and now is one of those times
There are times when I miss my father
and I feel alone
And now is one of those times
There are times when all is black
and I don't want to go on
And now is one of those times
Black cat in a coal shed at night
Drowning in an ocean of despair
And now is one of those times
THERE ARE TIMES B
There are times when life is hard
and it doesn't matter
And now is one of those times
There are times when I sense my father near
and I am not alone
And now is one of those times
There are times when all is black
and I turn the light on
And now is one of those times
Black cat in a coal shed at night
dreaming of dinner
And now is one of those times
