 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

While Walking And Thinking


When I need to walk and think
I walk through an old cemetery~
There I find such peace of mind
Along with a simple tranquility~
Walking and thinking upon this day
Of life I've lived and loves I've had~
Of some good old memories
Back some when I was but just a lad~
Down the road came a line of cars
Headed by a decorated hurse~
So I sat upon one of the oldest graves
And there I read it's verse~
It had upon it an old scroll
With a verse of yesterday~
And in reading it came the thoughts
Of what I felt he had to say~
I came into this world with nothing
I'll be going out the same~
I've lived in this life three lifetimes
I have no regrets , Nobody I can blame~
Loved and been loved many times
Known beauty in all forms world wide~
Traveled this planet in my time
Enjoyed all of it within my stride~
Had memories by the million
All good , positive and true~
I felt one of the most forefilled souls
Done most of all I dreamed I'd do~
I've seen and found love and good in souls
It was always there somewhere to find and see~
Every soul trying to find upon earth
The peace of mind that still lives now within me~
If asked would I do it all the same
However I don't think I'll get the chance~
As time has it's own alarm that sounds
But I'd answer yes I would in a wink and a glance~
I know there's more to this life we lead
Long after we think it's over for good~
So much more to learn,know and do
After what we know as death raises it's hood~
All things come and all things leave
God giveth and God taketh away~
A need to appreciate all his gifts
As we live our lives on earth every single day~
