 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE





When you think you've reached a dead end
In life .. Simply choose a new direction~
There's a million doors yet to open
That need no effort for detection~
To quit is not the answer
Choose another way to go~
There's a new life waiting for you
People who will really love you so~
Its all a question of truth and destiny
To find the reasons you were born~
What you've to do within your life time
Every day from dawn till dawn~
Don't ever be discouraged by the quitters
Know in your heart you disserve the best~
Search for it honestly and deliberately
Know you've got what it takes to pass the test~
If you need to calm the restlessness
Take a long look at your heart and souls needs~
Walk out from the swamp onto life's highway
And never return again to the reeds~
Once you lose sight of your dreams in life
And your deepest emotional needs and feelings within~
You know then that its time , yours and mine
To think of yourself and that is not a sin~
If you've no tears left to cry then who are you
When you no longer care your as good as dead~
Then a whole life of love and destiny
Wasted ...ended ...put to bed~
All the answers to life's questions are waiting
For you to press on , seek and find~
And if you lose interest in searching
your chances of happiness then are left behind~
Creation and creating never ceases
As we all create every day~
And know you do too , Your needed its true
So go get it , do it and in your way~
 To thine own self be true~.
