 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

I ASKED MYSELF WHEN I WAS YOUNG


I asked myself when I was very young
What seems now the longest time ago
Who do I want to be when I grow up
Then the answer it came to me its so

As long as in this life I shall live
Ill be myself at the end of the very day
I guess I made up my mind before I was born
I'm just me and that's going to stay

Through life we all make our mistake's
As often we think with our heart only
And as we receive a hard knock or two
And spend some time alone and lonely

We decide that we should trust our vibes
And listen to our own inner feelings deep
Keeping in mind all of our life and time
We all receive later what it is we reap

I am the same in many ways to this day
When I was a lad I wore blue jeans then
And to this day I still dress the same
As I did away back it seems as then

Oh I've learned a lot over my life long
And most of it I simply keep in store
As I'm still myself as away back then
I don't make the same mistakes any more

Best to be a good soul with ones dignity
And not to wish to be any other soul but you
As God has created the very one that you have
And to God and yourself always be true.
