Thinking with no one to guide you,
Digesting the things that are. Back trailing the life that's past you, Peeping at what's in store, Pondering over life's mistakes, Wondering, how many more. Dreaming alone of childhood days, Regretting some things that are past, Recalling lost opportunities, And chances too good to last. Living your whole life over, Recalling the daily grind, Thanking your God that it's over, Glad that you've left it behind. But still regretting your errors, Sad for some things you have done, Wishing that you had coppered some plays As you count them one by one. Now living a life, clean, decent, For man never sins alone, Getting a grip on your ego, Coming at last to your own. You dream and you hunt all summer Till you notice a chill in the air, Then you think of your warm snug cabin And you feel that you'd rather be there. Then you head over unblazed passes |
