It's getting harder every day
People falling every which way
I always worry whether I'll be next
The next bird to fall from the nest

God, keep me up
Catch me when I fall
Prove to be my Savior
After all

After all I've done
After all I've seen
I feel so guilty
How could I be so mean

Sometimes it's hard to keep from falling
Sometimes it's tempting to just let go
Sometimes it's difficult to stay up
Sometimes it's way to easy to fall

The author's comments:
I wrote this after seeing how far someone had fallen since the last time I had seen them. They were up so high. You would have never thought they could have dropped to that level.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
