 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

MEMORIES

When I was born I heard them
Those good old country songs
And I made the best of life then
This was where this boy belongs

In a total disfunctual family then
My dad worded endured back then
Mum mostly everywhere but home
Wasn't easy for me away back when

Not afraid of work since being born
Since then it's still much the same
Never had to ask me any time twise
And if I could return I'd do it again

But my kin so very up themselves
They never liked me no way ever
Something about a blood group
Mum related to royals so clever

Never was into all that stuff at all
I was just a country boy any way
Kids'd poke fun mum had bike
Mum knew their fathers on a day

Their mothers bit the bulley then
Dad wore it all back in that time
Mum was out and about mostly
Dad a saint and walked the line

I'd listen to them and see myself
That's all told in a country song
Many a true story you'll here
About hanging in there and on

Crying inside but buried  deeply
Found peace during a stormy night
I as a kid'd watch lightening flash
Hoping one day it'd all be  allright

Well My life has never been easy
I'd tell myself some worse off true
Positive to the letter in my soul
Doing always best as I could do

Always knew right from wrong
Never committed a single crime
Never blamed life remained strong

Memories still cut often like a knife
My mum the best and worst too
Very psychic in endless ever ways
One glance and she always knew

Her talents and gifts so very many
I got the best from her since born
The worst of her stored in memories
Loved her since my very first yawn

Dad I'll never be the man he was
Lord knows how hard I have tried
Always followed his values deep
Loved him so to the day he died

My kin all hypocrites to the bone
Never thinking one day they'll die
They all thought me not good as them
One honest brain cell they'll cry

I'm not complaining but remembering
Born mums with mums psychic as anyone
But kept all I'd see along the way
Their lives , attitudes things done

They too knew always right from wrong
Yes from no , good from bad , still
I just always did just what was right
Passed present and till death will

That don't make me a good soulat all
Had me doing as any really should
If at times I liked it ever or even not
My heart was never made of wood

Memories , with an infalable memory
How I'd love to be able to forget
Memories they wait till one's down
And rock one's soul still do yet

A real Gemini hates to be let down
By those he gave their all on any day
Then I tell myself life's not all mine
And remain myself making again my way

I feel other's pain as many endure
Knowing it's a part of their life
And that I can't do a real lot about
Unless asked never coursing strife


Ilove so making love but values alone
Often prevent my knowing things devine
Boys love sex the mater make real love
But the mouth dangerous open you'll find


How I'd so love to talk with a few
But uninvited not a real good idea
I've helped more gave away money
Lent a hand to many souls ever dear


Saved lives walked away and lost too
Put it down to being just as I am
I don't judge I look deeply within
Within , a body's at times a clam

Some memories won't just won't leave
Waiting to return seems all over again
I've spent so much time alone in life
As to deal with just so much once pain

Nobody can help one who simply won't
Strive to help themselves at anytime
Love of money is a fools God so true
But I've helped many and walk the line
