I Will See You In the Pasture
The only true Immortality is the having of children
They are the only ones we can live through forever
A form of immortality is to live on in others memory
Though some are remembered for terrible acts
I would always wish to be remembered as a good person
We all choose paths through what we have learned in our lives
Each person learns many different things in life
In this way we are all equal to one another
It is a myth that you cannot teach an old dog new trick
We will learn something new everyday if we listen
You will always learn more by listening than speaking
Unless you are asking about something you want to understand more
All things that are written may be only one persons perception of life
How we perceive what is written may not be the intention of the writer
The only way into a writers mind is to reach into his sentences
If not for the people alive today what would our reality be now
If able we all might want to change one thing or more in our past
True love is not really a myth again it is how you choose to perceive
People will learn more about you by your actions than your speaking
Speaking sometimes can only cement all your actions to words
By our learning to listen we will in this way be able to teach
I am not a good writer its just that I am jotting down my words
To be happy and healthy is all I am worried about
If I do not see you in the future I’ll see you in the pasture
Be healthy be wise and have fun in your life
Remember you cannot take wealth with you when done
