My Early Morning Visit
I took a walk this morning
Just as the sun began to rise,
And the inky clouds encompassed her
And cluttered up the skies.
I took a walk this morning
Just as the sun began to rise,
And the inky clouds encompassed her
And cluttered up the skies.

My family and my friends.

Depression is a monster
That destroys both heart and soul.
It tortures without mercy
And consumes its victim whole.

So free upon the breeze.
The sun reflects her stars and stripes,
