As Days Go By

As Days Go By

By Brandon Palzkill

As woe begotten days go by

I’ve fallen far from up on high

And can’t stand up from where I lie

Forever gazing at the sky

I long to spread my wings and fly

And then, with steely-glinted eye

I’ll sound a gallant battle cry

“To sink or swim; there is no try”

But even should things go awry

Perhaps my end is not yet nigh

I’m stronger from my faults and I

Would never be caught, high and dry

My world could be a slice of pie

Until the very day I die

I’d climb back up from where I lie

And never have to say goodbye
