Have Your Say


"Say that there are too may buts in the sky today.
Say that we need each other off and on to see how it feels."
---- John Ashberry

Say

Say that you are troubled at the thought of indiscretions.
Say that 'indestructible' comes not lightly off your tongue.
Say however many times you abandon yourself when you
Turn around - you've come back: here you are!

Say the most you ever wanted was achievable.
Say that you don't believe the pain will go away.
Say that even when you stop to think you don't stop.
Turn around; you've hit the mark. You're there.

Say the roundabout way is the shortest way to go.
Say that once upon a time it was the time of your life.
Say that all in all it just couldn't be helped.
Turn around; and claim the fact that it is yours.

Say the only real mistake was the one you didn't make.
Say that while you may have grumbled you didn't let on.
Say time and time again you got a second chance.
Turn around; it's your time now - it always was.

---- Big Frank Dickinson
