The Deep Blue Ocean Again.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

this year had been
a nice year,
i've met some betrayals,
but just the same
this year had been
a nice year, for all
the lessons learned.

this year we shall still
be together, the usual
camaraderie and laughter,
but with a little caution,
because i had betrayals,

just the same, i will still
be with you, a happy face,
a happy disposition, but
with a little change,
a little caution, otherwise
i would be that stupid
to meet more betrayals,

i takea deep breath
and swim the deep blue ocean
again.
