My Priorities
My Priorities
It’s amazing how my life has changed,
My priorities rearranged.
I’m growing older, wiser too,
Wanting less of me and more of you.
My once desires, I knew them well,
Are stories I no longer tell.
For life has changed me, changed me good,
As going older certainly would.
In the mirror, I hardly see,
The materialized man I used to be.
When work gave my purpose, money and fame,
And quickly rose my name.
But happiness wasn’t behind a desk,
Moving on, was my greatest test.
That was many years ago,
Now my priorities clearly show.
Purpose, I find in you,
Something my heart knows is true.
I’m not ashamed of my past,
But momentary pleasures never last.
So this road I now am on,
Leads to a greener shade of lawn.
Cheer for me, I’ve found my way,
Enjoying each brand new day.
