 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

TO FIND THAT PLACE

By Terrence michael Sutton, www.PoetryPoem.com/aussiepoet    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime



There's a gift from time it's self-that's so appreciated
Of arriving at an age older, still knowing good health
Being in a position to look back upon a life one's lived
And being glad in many ways one knows a priceless wealth
A peace of mind, happiness, real true love, contentment
All of which could never ever in time be bought or sold
When one can actually honestly look all around one's self
Knowing real love, Godliness, and respect has not grown old
I grew up in a world of those I loved always wanting more
And what I wanted most was in none of their daily plans  
All accept my own much loved father who lived for family
But all provided for them all slipped through their hands
I wanted to be so away from all the greed and gain in life
And I never knew where upon earth I could find a place
Where all around me were not using others to reach a goal
And where I could find absolute sincerity and Godly grace
I over time took many a dead end street going nowhere
But I dreamed still of a place to one day hopefully know
A happiness my father never knew a love he never had
Most thought I lived in a world of my own always it's so
And so yes I prayed as within my soul a dream displayed
And I had my doubts thinking the whole world was the same
So I turned my entire life upon earth over to fate and karma
As my own searching usually lead not to sunshine but rain
Now I look all the way back so very far down life's track
Without ridiculing any other's as they simply never understood
What it was my inner soul had searched for all of my life
I don't think any of them still do and never would or could
But I am knowing a peace I've never know a happiness
A real true love that's rare in any day and age on earth
And still young enough and healthy enough to feel at peace
As I am knowing a life that has so much priceless worth
My much loved father loved a song that he'd sing at times
And now after almost a lifetime I live in such a place true
A place that I know his very soul too wished that he knew
There'll be peace in the valley and I now live in it I do.
