BUT I TRIED

BUT I TRIED

There were people playing simple games,
I didn’t quite understand how to play,
but I sure tried.

There were people riding the public bus
They made it look so easy, but I couldn’t 

successfully do it, but I sure tried.

There were people in need who required comfort,
I was never sure of the right words to comfort,
but I sure tried.

There were Mothers that made motherhood seem easy,
I had to struggle so hard to be what my kids 

needed, but I sure tried.

I watch others on the computer in utter amazement.
Making the mouse move where I want it is so very

difficult, but I sure tried.

I watch longingly as others leave in their cars 

to go to work. I can remember those days and those 

feelings of success, I was never able to go back to 

work but I sure tried.

I wonder about the future and what it holds it store 

for me. Sometimes, I am anxious about tomorrow and its 

news, but I sure tried.


I tried the very best I could, even if others can do 

things better. I have lost some of my abilities, but 

I am still able to do one thing, and that is to forever 

TRY, and never ever give up!
