Once Upon A Time Not That Long Ago

Once upon a time
not that long ago
I was a man
I was someone to know
I had a life
and places to go
I loved my life
even the parts that most don't.
I was a fool
and I was a king
and I felt in command
of most everything.
Now I am lost
waiting to be found
crying for help
without making a sound.
How I got here
even I do not know
where my future lies
seems still unknown.
I've tried and I've tried
and I've cried and cried
and I've looked under rocks
to find my life.
But so far not so good
or at least that's how it seems
but I have to admit with life
that I'm still not sure what life means.
So I live day by day
which may be always the way
and where all this leads
maybe no one can say.
I lost a mother, my dog
a job and a friend -
But I still got a lot to offer
and I know this isn't the end.
Life is a struggle
and I guess, a struggle is hard
or it wouldn't mean anything
next time I play in the yard.
So here's to a time
a place where I'll go
where I'll be that man
the one that I know
no longer lost
in once upon a time
of not long ago.
