Thoughts by Coletha Albert

Thoughts

I thought there was love

I thought wrong

I thought there was peace

I thought wrong

I thought there was respect

I thought wrong

I thought there was meaning

I thought wrong

I thought there was purpose

I thought wrong

I thought there was a reason

I thought wrong

But I kept going on

When I was confused

I kept going on

When I was disappointed

I kept going on

Every time I was betrayed

I kept going on

When I could only cry

I kept going on

Even when I felt weak

I kept going on

No matter what you did

I kept going on

No matter what you didn’t do

I kept going on

I learned to value love

I learned to value peace

I learned to value respect

I learned there is meaning

I learned there is purpose

I learned there is reason

Turned out I was never wrong

What a thought!
