It Gets Me By
by Jared Fladelandthis spine has a lot of trouble
keeping me up, keeping a smile;
but when I close my eyes
with deep breath I realize:
it gets me by.
the sky looks blue most times of day,
but at dusk i get swept away
and with a grateful nod
i give some thanks to god:
it gets me by.
the passion in my heart's still there,
life is still not too much to bear.
with a lovely lil' hum
aimed at the setting sun,
it gets me by
is all I can say. 04/04/2011 Posted on 04/04/2011
