The buried lead

When I feel down
I seek to find
just what it is that ails me,
as you are always
standing there,
it must be you that fails me.

In many years
I’ll see the truth
and fall into despair,
I missed the simple,
buried lead
that you were always there.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
