Wishing I could go back
In time
And tell myself
To
Lighten Up !!
Be thankful for what you have -
A younger self
Hope and strength
I always thought there
Would be more
There was something
I was going for
This and that
Perfect bit of existence
Would be mine
Just
Give it time
I had a sense of
Urgency
And longing for
And always wondered why
It all seemed so uphill
And inflationary
By the time we've got
The money saved
It costs more
And there's no end to it
I thought there'd be
A light
At the end of the tunnel
Now I see
There's just more tunnel
With some light Yes
But the tunnel closes in
And darkness begins to
Descend
Friends of friends
Pass away
Have memorial services
Celebrate a life
Well lived
What have I done with mine
How have I spent
My time
What choice did I have
But to work and save
Be the capitalist
Slave
And glad to have
A job
Or three
Why give us dreams ?
Joyful wishes -
And then
Make sure they
Can't come true . . .
But now I know a secret
It's been a lifetime
To learn
There is another direction
Where it all rings true
There is an inner wonder
A connection
More important than
Perfection in
Material things
