Another trip around the sun
Sometimes I feel like I'm hurtling towards nothingness
Not despairing, not depressed
But the sun seems to rise and the sun seems to set
What fruit have the hours produced?
What matters in the world?
Just the outlook of helplessness
What impact have I on my son and daughter?
I've had no effect on their learning
The calendar pages just keep turning
And I can't stop them
Maybe one year I'll learn
To stop trying to hold time like groceries in my arms
Something always slips out, something always skitters away
I must stop flogging myself and celebrate
A family, two children happy and safe
If I don't have the answers
Chances are, they'll learn them
And teach me
I must learn to believe in others
I must have more faith
Happy birthday to me
Smile and blow out the candles
Realize I don't live in darkness
