WHEN
IS IT TO LATE
When the world seems to have no answers,
When everyone around you take all you have,
When finding that extra strength to do what is needed
just to keep living
Seems like an endless task,
When you can't see the open door and no one seems to be
holding it for you
When the clouds that cover the sky are all gray
When you seek to find the answers to a history that is
yet unknown
When people see you as a child even at the age of 53 (and
that's not me)
When you see yourself as a child and you are 53
When there are no jokes that make you laugh
When you look into the mirror and see nothing in return
When you write a friend from years ago and
get a large return envelope that states 'return to sender
unwanted mail'
When you seek to find a purpose and there is none to be
found
When you find the only person responding to you is you
then maybe it is to late -- maybe
Yet with all of this you seem to feel a spark inside
telling you to go on and be the person you need to be
You then RETURN to the mirror
Where there seems to be a slight image looking back at
you
you must then ask yourself how
to put a real reflection back into what you see
So many people today only care about what happens in
their own lives
There doesn't seem to be that connection, that longing or
the need
to be involved in a cause that could shape the course of
history.
That could change how we all see ourselves and those
around us.
That could tell us it is never to LATE to be WHO we need
to be.
