 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

DETERMINATION


It's been a lifelong determination
Since the day that I was born~
Since I sat up and looked at my own family
Since the first I stretched and had a yawn~
I was born onto a conveyor belt
That went four steps up and then three down~
With parents who well could swim life's river
But did everything to help each other drown~
Could not live together at all
Could not as well it seems live apart~
Drove themselves and offspring almost crazy
And broke on a daily rate a many heart~
Happy times diluted with un needed stupidity and pain
And hurting children all along the way~
Breaking little hearts and damaging self esteems
Back before my very first birthday~
Oh so long before I even got here on earth
How very simple it could have been~
With all that they had going in life
To live a loving and happy life supreme~
But back then there was endless couples
Not so it seems happy with their lot~
With their own husbands and their wives
Or with anything that they'v got~
Jumping fences in the dark , greener grass
Way back even before the war~
Hurting those they are supposed to love
And wasting good love and happy times for sure~
And how this stupidity it hurts the little children
As they grow up with all those scars~
Having parents that simply do not care enough
Care more about good times,their wealth and their cars~
This should be a crime committed by law
But it happens every single day~
That little children have their hearts ripped out
Because some adults simply must have their way~
Since I was into this born and my first yawn
I've walked the line every single day~
To find a partner in this life , a trusting wife
That gave all to each other all along the way~
I once thought true love was a fantasy
Two glued to each other so inlove~
Going through life as husband and wife
Both united as hand in glove~
I only ever wanted what others took for granted
What they through away almost every day~
I saw two being so inlove , blessed by God above
As being as wealthy as can be , ever tell of or say~
It took me almost a lifetime ti find it
But they say leave the best till last it's so~
And that if you find it hang on and give it all
And never ever at all ever let it go~
Well After all my vast amount of travels
My searching for this one thing deep within~
Always retaining all my values
Not committing any ever deliberate sin~
After all my tribulations
And diversities in this life~
I find it was all worth the trouble
Because my one entire love is now my wife~
