 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

After A Life Time


After a life time of doing ones best
In a world that controls almost all you do
Where few out of many will succeed as expected
By the world and the powers that be its true

Very often the richest ever man after retirement
Will hope for what I have in my very world now
Peace of mind and tranquility at its ever best
Happiness within ones heart and soul somehow

To be able to live stress free , free from the rat race
That he has been struggling with for all his working life
To eventually be able to survive in contentment and peace
From a world that asks for more but gives back only strife

The richest man only would like to afford to go fishing
Maybe do a little gardening now and then from day to day
Please ones self what and when he does anything
While being around those that love him so in every way

To look out his window at his view and find that nature
Has blessed all within the very sight that he can see
Where all he has ever dreamed of in his hard working life
Is now his to enjoy and only true love is his destiny

Photobucket

Where all is calm and Godly blessed in every way
As back in the world he once knew never ever knew
As they were all too busy trying to get to the top
Of a world that only takes and takes more its true

Where all the things money can never really afford
Are now his to appreciate and love in every way
Where he can know his life time will be Godly blessed
And where he can remain for ever more and a day

Where he can live as happy now as he's ever been
And the clock does not control his every single day
After a life time of always having to do better still
Now he can enjoy all in life come what may

Where he can leave the madness he's known behind
And simply know all the peace and happiness that be
Thats all a man in his later years could ever ask for
To be loved so and to enjoy whats left of his reality

Ive found all I could ever ask for in my life
My entire life of hard work and worry all is behind
And Ive got all a man could ever dream of in life now
A life of all the love and contentment one could find.
