it's not hard to
pay attention
or connect to
things i mention.
i promise not
to talk for long.
stay awake or
i'll hit the gong.
short and simple
is what you'll get.
follow my words,
you won't regret.
the world around
is big, no joke.
lots of people
for you to poke.
life's very long
with much to do
sights to see and
things to go through
what will i do?
why am i here?
life's a drive, but
how do i steer?
so many paths
which road is mine?
give me a map
and i won't whine
little things,
daily pleasures
are how our lives
should be measured.
to live your life
as you designed,
not a grand show
that leaves you blind
even after
all of these years
the future's still
very unclear
don't even know
but i do care
hope life leads me
to somewhere fair
-t.d.
