 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

OVER HIS ENTIRE LIFE

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



An entire life lived he lived always doing right
He gave his all always to right through to all..
Never putting himself before others he loved
To his best he always in life answered ever call..

He always worked doing things right to the letter
Always working as hard making money as any..
Seldom worked for others mostly his own boss
And as well often employing over his time many..

A man of values cannot in life become wealthy
Giving all he had to home and family all the way..
All along the way they accepted and expected all
As they knew he'd provide in life come what may..

Within his life he looked passed so many wrongs
To the best of his ability made good out of the bad..
Knowing he was giving his all best he could to all
Saying any less of him in all honesty only ever sad..

Came the time in life after doing his best always
He knew they'd grown after his all said and done..
He set out to find a long dreamed peace of mind
And all money could not buy and ever seldom won..

Time it had passed as time it tends to do within life
He'd not heard from any for what seemed ages..
As it is at times in life selective memories and strife
Many he gave his all had rewritten many pages..

So forgotten where the money always came from
How they had got to where they were over time..
He knew deeply within his heart mind and soul
Regardless of all what he'd done right down the line..
