I remember the world <br />Lying in pieces at my feet <br />I remember being stronger than this <br />Yet I'm ready to admit defeat <br /> <br />I remember a simpler time <br />When I knew heaven from hell <br />Before my vision was blurred <br />And my soul I was willing to sell <br /> <br />I remember when the ground opened <br />And threatened to swallow me alive <br />I reached out my hand <br />But you didn't grasp it <br />You stepped back <br />And watched me die <br /> <br />I remember learning the truth <br />Like a hot shower going <br />It was the bitter disappointment <br />of finding lead <br />When I was looking for gold <br /> <br />Like flashes of light <br />It all comes back <br />Every once in a while <br />Yes I can remember it all <br />But somehow <br />I do so with a smile<br /><br />Tiger Lily Love<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-remember-a-smile/
