When the Truth Is Realized

Tonight as I think of all the things I have had And all the things I have wanted And all the years that engery was applied To obtain the things of which I speak, I have to look about me and face the true meaning of it all. We all go about our everyday living Doing the things of which is needed for survival Doing all we can to maintain what we have And doing all we can to nourish our health along the way. Then suddendly without warning Without any sign forthcoming You realize those youthful years The ones you though would never end Are gone and a different degree of maturity Has set in. You then realize all the things you though you once needed Are not really needed now And all the things you though you once wanted Does'nt seem quite so appealing after all. And then you realize the years have quickly passed And all the memories are gathered safely within your mind. You realize everything has a way of working itself out, It has a way of providing us with what is best for us. Even down to the mate or companion Of which we may have though would have been a good choice One that may have seemed to be the ideal one. So maybe realization has permantly set in And the truth is what I have always known it to be. What is going to be, will be It matters not of the place nor time All that matters is can you live with yourself Can you face the true meaning of your life And are you happy with you?
