My Way

My life has been a winding road,
                                        could have been worse I've been told
                                        but I lived it the best that I could
                                        not always as I want, but as I should,
                                        wanting to be admired by the masses
                                        shaking hands and tipping glasses
                                        always did what was expected,
                                        never wanting to be rejected
                                        now as I look at days gone past
                                        not the first and wont be the last
                                        to live their life as others perceive,
                                        to always give and never receive
                                        but in the end, my life has been good,
                                        I wouldn't change a thing if I could.
