The Counterpane by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

The Counterpane by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA Why do I keep on trying When every day I'm failing? As each week passes  I miss every target. Every year is just the same I never win the game. Why do I keep losing In a world that's so confusing? Never past the post, My dreams are simply ghosts. And yet I keep on trying The facts I'm still denying. What gives me such resolve? This puzzle I cannot solve. Maybe I've a super power, As each season I re-flower. Maybe I will grow From all these seeds I sow. Perhaps I am not failing, Maybe I am gaining, Maybe I am blind,  And the treasure lays behind. A life that's filled with gold Hidden in the folds Of the counterpanes Of old. © 2024 Sarnia de la Mare
