Stride On

Monday 1st February 2021 1:57 am

Oh...... another day .... thrown away
another pain .... nothing gained

    Stride on - to the sunlight
Stride on - through the shadows
    Stride on - even though it's night
    Stride on - to the 'morrow
           (to the sunlight)

But Oh.. another day .... thrown away
another pain .... nothing changed

Stride on - to the sunlight
    Stride on - through the shadows
    Stride on - even though it's night
    Stride on - to the 'morrow
        Stride on,
Stride on,
Stride on
       (to the sunlight)

But Oh.. another day .... thrown away
another pain .... still the same

Stride on,
Stride on!

    Stride on - to the sunlight
    Stride on - through the shadows
    Stride on - even though it's night
    Stride on - to the 'morrow
        (to the sunlight)

Ah J.D that is very kind of you to say. I can reassure you that this poem was written a couple of years before I arrived at WOL and is actually arisen from the struggles of dealing with an undiagnosed health condition which at the time was being 'professionally' treated as imaginary but very real and impacting the family immensely in distress and stress levels, even more so because of that backdrop. We did eventually reach the stage where the problem was medically acknowledged and non-damaging interventions became possible.

Here is another poet (of many) deserving of some sort of award. at the very least, a thank-you for your frequent contributions. I love the thought to stride on, but I feel bad about the line, "another day thrown away" you are here for us. and thank-you for that, that is all I will say.
