 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

Funny Thing About Life


It's a funny thing about life
All over it's much the same~
No matter where one ever travels to
It mostly comes down to money and or gain~
Ever so often ever so many in life
Will find no matter where they go~
So many things are always the same
And worldwide never change you know~
We are all only here for a short while
We come , we exist , we leave~
We do the best we can do with what we've got to work with
When we go if lucky someone will grieve~
One can travel this entire earth
And geraniums growing you'll find~
As well as the ever common pepper tree
And many other plants of the same kind~
One can travel this entire world
And real true friends will always be~
All these things you can rely upon
But seldom ones own family~
One can travel and go anywhere at all
And the sun will always shine~
The moon well it does much the same
In your life and in mine~
But ever so often it seems to be
The things that should be seldom are at all~
When times are good they all want to know
When they are not they simply cannot hear your call~
No matter what part of this planet you are on
When the chips are down you'll usually find it's so~
You'll then find who are your sincere friends
Often family simply do not wish to know~
Real friends they are always ever sincere
As they could as well themselves tell of this being so~
You can always choose your friends in life
But family ............... Well there you go ~
