THINGS I KNOW
© Ricki E. Bellos
Crocuses and red winged black birds
Make their spring return
I am alive, I have survived
And come out the other side
I don’t mind snow on the ground
With purple flowers and bird song
These are things I know
What I see from my window
And feel within my soul
I don’t know much
But these are things I know
An azure sky, a cloudy day
A gift either way
I try to take each as it comes
With hope for another one
What we share is all we have
Two journeys on a single path
These are things I know
What I see from my window
And feel within my soul
I don’t know much
But these are things I know
All I can do
Is control how I view
This day and what it can mean
Until night washes over me
These are things I know
What I see from my window
And feel within my soul
I don’t know much
But these are things I know
