Day by Day

With each passing day that goes by,
All my hopes and dreams crashing and burning,
Things are not what I expected them to be,
Will it always be the same as it is now?

Was it something I did to cause this much pain,
What can I do to make it all better for me,
To ease all the sorrow in my life,
How can I change the way things are headed?

I lay awake at night thinking of what should be,
What could of I done different to change things,
I never asked for any of this to happen,
Why do I have to go through all of it alone?

Laughter and joy are nowhere to be seen,
Looking back at all I've done right,
All the ones I've helped in my life,
Makes me wonder how I can keep going on.

Looking around at all I have here with me,
I see my family and friends standing by for me,
Looking over me and watching close by,
Lending a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on,

Giving all their love for me to have,
With open arms showing me they care,
Their here to support me one step at a time,
I can make it if I take it day by day.
