Tries and Misses

Many tries and misses
And the modest hands of forgiveness
Though blistered and worn
Still welcome me in mourn

The day says it’s ok
When I give but do not receive
Puts me up, bare and square
Make me believe in many I cannot see

I shall sing to new songs now
The ones of blooms and yellow
My hair will soak up the sun and shine
The day will end without a goodbye

The stars wrote me in character
With hits and blows to weather
In time I shall not remember me
But the secrets I kept for a smile’s sake

But nonetheless, nonetheless
Clap and cheer for what life misses
For what makes me smile is not important
And my cries I simply can forget
