THINGS I KNOW © Ricki E. Bellos Crocuses and red winged black birds Make their spring return I am alive, I have survived And come out the other side I don’t mind snow on the ground With purple flowers and bird song These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know An azure sky, a cloudy day A gift either way I try to take each as it comes With hope for another one What we share is all we have Two journeys on a single path These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know All I can do Is control how I view This day and what it can mean Until night washes over me These are things I know What I see from my window And feel within my soul I don’t know much But these are things I know
