BUT I TRIED

BUT I TRIED

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

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

do it, but...I tried.

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

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

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

I watch longingly as others leave in their cars to go 

to work.I can remember those days and those feelings of 

success. but...I tried. I wonder about the future and 

Sometimes, I am anxious about tomorrow and its news.
but...I 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 give up!
