Poems of Lighthouse Bob

Knowing Life #93



When I was a child,
one thing stands out proud and true;
I never had a problem with
knowing what to do...

One by one each golden rule
was very strictly laid;
“Make sure your shoes are tied
and be sure your bed is made...”

But, in my childhood quest
for playing games and having fun;
Often beds were left unmade
and shoe laces were undone...

Even though I've become older,
things are pretty much the same;
I forgot about the rules
to enjoy playing in the game...

Looking back upon my life
and how my years have grown;
Life is less knowing what I've done
and more doing what I've known.
