Reflections/ Having Fun : Two Poems by Jacques Cormier

                   HAVING FUN
" Always on the run, don't have no time for fun, then it's gone
Forgot the things you love to do, got caught up in life, but not living.
You use to dance all the time, in your living room, the kitchen, in the car.
But now life is but a constant array of routines, none of which you enjoy.
Time passes, as does your dreams and aspirations.
Mad at me because I enjoy life, having fun.
You could to, but you choose what you will, the path already traveled.


REFLECTIONS

Here I stand at the feet of life, amazed, frustrated.
I am beyond where I expected to be, but have yet to reach my potential.
Many have fallen so that I could rise, above the limitations I placed on myself.
Tears fill my eyes as I begin to realize that so many are gone, friends, family, team mates.
So here I stand, tall and proud, but most of all humble.
was it not for grace, there would be no reflections only experiences.
