Buckets Half Full

Wandering eyes Always compromise When glaring at the fix Hoping trembling hands will quit A mother cries A father digs down deep Will tough love be the answer An ending that you need Cause you are drowning Sinking fast Steps away from tragedy A figment of the past As you struggle through The undertow I'm waiting at surface Hands extended from the boat Forgiveness is More easily achieved When breath is still in the lungs Take steps while not deceased Cause tomorrow Is a brand new day Your life is one worth living Won't you please be here to stay
