Doing Right by Bob Atkinson

"Doing Right”

(c)2010 Bob Atkinson

I give all there is when I look

into the eyes of others

and begin to feel where they belong

as related to my brothers

the feelings of mortal souls

cast doubts upon my brain

as I live within the tight constraints

of those social organizational reins

there seems to be no pause in me

for carrying on my desires

and beginning to try out those things

that will cause my heart to heal

from those daily pains and tribulations

that don't set right within my being

giving me pause to believe

I'm not right for this situation

yet,
there isn't any other way

to continue on my path

but to try to see

some kind of purpose

within my frame of reference

and carry on, as I have done

with my cherished life

and do those things for others

that makes it come out right
