A Real Bargain

Guess I’ve got the will to write

But, don’t know what about or who
I wish that my mind could flow
Just, like, it used to do.

Guess the hurting’s getting easier

As I go up through the years
Just remembering those happy times
And, too, all of those tears.

But, most of them, ‘been happy too

’Cept, the ones that were sad
Some of our life’s’ best times
Were the worst that we have had.

When you hurt, you know you feel

(And , that, is not all good!)
But, the trick is doing, all those things
We thought, we never could.

Although there’s really nothing

That, the heart cannot see
I know it saw a lot of things
That, never came to me!

But the sin is really this!

It’s not seeing what you got
‘Cause it is prob’ly so much more
Than, you had ever thought.

My mind reached out, and found some words

That came, straight from my heart
And it's a shame it's soon to stop
Just, when, it learned to start.

I’ve been blessed with many things

Or, guess I should say "People"
Some were planted on the ground
And some in some high "steeple".
