Keeping a Grip


My hands I dipped in sweet dreams,
In orange blossoms’ honey, my lips.
My head thought all sorts of things,
But on far ahead I kept a grip.

Some days bring me all things bitter,
And is hard to find in them a smile.
But I still look for all that is sweeter,
And try to hold them for a while.

My past sometimes sneaks up on me,
Brings back things that I should forget.
I know I’m made of my memories,
Some are good, and some I regret.

Still I try to look up each day I live,
Finding myself in this puzzle of life.
Learning to love and forgive,
To reach higher, I strive.
