Over my life with it's up'd downs and it's strife
I set out long ago to learn as much as I ever could
Not at all for just gain or much wealth it's plain
But for an inner need to know as I thought I should
I learned so very long ago and to an extent it's so
One goes to school to mostly learn how to learn
And that I guess too I found that to be rather true
As in life the candles of life as they do slowly burn
As in university life I worked in life my way through
I've earned over time such respect but I do suspect
That none of my very own over time has not got a clue
Or at any given time their mundane live's could detect
I've often been asked of my views of so much about life
But I give that like an orange each time on any day
Being like an orange they can keep what makes sense
And simply after which they can throw was doesn't away
I've always had a knowing as life's winds kept blowing
Of what I as a soul could take with me when I too go
And nobody takes any wealth or life's high stakes
Only priceless knowledge that can never be bought it's so
In the same vehicle I travel my soul most learning unraveled
It's still in top shape despite so many stones at me thrown
I live a life without regret and living a long way to go yet
At peace within my own skin regardless of winds that have blown
I learned those that know and care have a hard road to bare
And those that do not can do in life as they please on any day
I was long ago told I walk a lonely road and carry my own load
As not many in life ever walk in life the same very way
But I can tell you it's true fate and karma they know you
Be their opinions of you good ones or bad one's at any time
And that there is no trying to fool them as some think
For at the end of the day we one and all drink their wine
Karma in life has rewarded myself and from it's top shelf
And I thank it for remembering me how sincerely I do
Over a life that's not been easy and at times ever so greasy
But keeping one's values and integrity is worth it it's true.
