My Most Trusted Poem by Ray Hansell

So many times I wondered
What I was living for
Every new beginning
Brought another closing door

So many things just don't go right
No matter how hard I seem to try
But I start out every day brand new
But I always ask myself why?

Now, I know we make our own breaks in life
No one else is responsible for our loss
But looking over this lifetime
I wonder why I paid such a high cost

I lost myself a family
Then I lost a home
Now each night is the same
As I wander these streets unknown

I see no change in the future
All I see is yesterday's everyday
Just once I'd like to see things
Somehow work out my way

But I feel inside this is a blueprint
Of how my life was supposed to be
Just when I thought I turned a corner
Another obstacle is there in front of me

I know the days and nights ahead
Will soon be coming to an end
But through it all both good and bad
My faithful dog was my most trusted friend
