A Man Who Was Lost


Once upon a time
long long ago
There lived a man
who didn't know

If today was tomorrow
or tomorrow was today
Should he wake for breakfast
or sleep his life away

The decisions were frightful
unknowing was his pain
For all his short life
in bed he did lay

Two houses down lived a man
who really didn't care
He lived life for today
so tomorrow beware

He greeted all strangers
smiled while he worked
So people thought he was weird
while others called him a jerk

This Man!  he was happy
a life out of control
That really didn't matter
for he had a happy soul

He lived for the moment
and always had good at hand
What better things to die for
gathering all the happiness we can.
