Ponderable Prose and Poets: 9/14/18.

There is a special place in my life
that needs my humble skill,
a certain job I'm meant to do --
nobody else can fill.
The hours are demanding
and the pay is not too good,
and yet, I wouldn't change it
for a moment, if I could.

There is a special place in life,
a goal I must attain -
a dream that I must follow,
for I won't be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave,
however small it be -
a legacy of love for those
who follow after me.

There is a special place in life
that only I may share,
a little path that bears my name -
awaiting me somewhere.
There is a hand that I must hold,
a word that I must say,
a smile that I must give, for there
are tears to blot away.

There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill -
a sunny spot, where flowers grow
upon a windy hill.
There's always a tomorrow,
and the best is yet to be,
and somewhere in this world, I know
there's a place for me!
