No Recipe
By Tina L. Jens
Got no recipe for growin' old.
No map to guide the wanderings of head and heart.
Running lost and wild from the pain.
Searching for a dry overhang --
A little shelter from the rain.
Got no recipe for growin' old.
No map to show my heart the road.
No spiritual guide to save my soul.
So I'll wander
Lost and alone
Cold and afraid
On my own
Just like you.
Just like you.
