I’m Still Here



I still try to laugh, and keep my smile.

I still hate to cry.

I still trip over my own feet.

I still have my fear of the dark and tight spaces.

I still love the river and the mountains.

I still love all the birds and critters that come.

I still love lots of music.

I still love the country.

I still love my kids and my kitty.

I still love my friends.

I still love my God.

I still dread the nightmares.

I still need to be needed.

I still miss the ones who have gone.

I’m still here.
