drowning

Drowning in a sea of hope,
hoping for the best,

my best,
your best,
our best.

Walking under dark cloud,
this hanging over head,
looking for the lifeline,
to win my daily bread.



That carrot on a stick,
the answer to my prayers,

as you were one day to me,
the best of hopes hoped for,
delivered front and center.

Just that one fair chance,
with no chains
to pull us under,
just us, unencumbered,

free to devote,
and give the gift
of 100 percent.

The formula for success,
lead free, fat free,
no one but you and me,
just the way it should be.

Stand and deliver,
for this is no game,
but still we can win,
if our hearts beat in fidelity.
