My Life
I never cared when people said what I should do with my life, ; I always did what felt just right, for my two kids and my wife. ; I’ve built a home ; Provided food ; Paid for their school ; Helped with their mood, ; I treated life as an art. ; I gave them my heart, ; There is nothing I regret until the day I depart. ; I never cared when people said to go do this or do that, ; I always heard my inner voice beyond the mind and its chat. ; I closed my eye ; Emptied the noise ; Breathed once or twice ; Dissolved without choice ; Until the silence appeared ; And my mind got so clear ; A state of bliss and love not even one drop of fear. ; I didn’t care when people laughed at my looks or my voice, ; Deep down inside I always new, that I did have a choice. ; To be strong like a rock ; Or weak as a leaf ; To say what I had to ; No matter the grief, ; Then the world was mine. ; I was on cloud nine ; And everyone around me at once looked benign. ; I live my life to the fullest now, on a mountaintop in Spain ; Cherish music food and sun, with Vivi and a Great Dane ; We read some good books ; Visit with friends ; Paint nature in oils ; Often laugh and dance ; A perfect life to be had, ; Not doing one thing we dread ; We could be in Detroit but we are in Spain instead. ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------;
