Work In Progress

Finally tears of joy swim from these tired eyes No longer am I drowning in murky waters Nor trapped in a crowded school of goldfish Today I dive into fresh invigorating waters Hoping to make a huge splash To pay forward a path for others Never will I forget those who kept me a float For they are my hero's and they always fed me hope

Thanks, It’s been a tough time. I worked for a company for 24 years and was laid off. It took forever to get a job again and it really messed with my self confidence. I really appreciate the comment. Have a great day Daniel :)
