Can I Make it One More Day
As I drive on the many highways of life
With road blocks, mountains to high to climb,
Dead-man curves into valleys deep as the sea.
With hopes and dreams crushed beyond repair.
I wonder 'has this day been enough of a task'
Did I use this time to find I can make it one more day?
Did I push the hurt and loneliness behind the mask
To cover and hide it all, to show only a surface smile?
As the sun slowly turns into dusk of another lost day
I lift my eyes up, to ask for some promise
Some hope of a future I can't seem to find,
Though the rainfall of tears of loneliness -- I smile.
For at the end of the highway, a promise of hope
Clouds of darkness giving way to every color
That heaven has to give, today's last sun rays
Still engulfing this earth with their beauty and warmth.
Like the day, love is not, there is a reason
The memories fill me with warmth, like the sun
It will hold me, engulf me, till the clouds are gone
And a new day, and new time will be in my life.
Yes, I can make it one more day.
