Finding Her Way

David John ScanlonContemplative

I played when I should play,

I laughed when I should laugh,

& I loved when I should love.

Finding a way to see came later.

I worked when I should work,

I cried when I should cry,

& I spoke when I should speak.

Finding a way to listen came later.

I slept when I should sleep,

I woke when I should wake,

& I wrote when I should write.

Finding a way to be with her came.
