Life Beginning

I often wonder where life began Was it in the water or from a grain of sand I sit and ponder this world of ours As I sit and sip this beer in this bar As I sit and drink this beer of mine That cost me a whopping three forty nine It starts to become clearer to me That life began when I could see I opened my eyes when I was born And looked at the world as being torn Things didn’t make much sense you see As of course you guessed I was a baby As I grew older and wiser as the years past I still looked at life as being aghast It finally came to me in this hops and oats I captured in the next passage of my notes Things in the past I cannot change And in the present I have no shame I actually believe in who I am I am where life began Duane A.
