I ask what I've learnt since I was a youth.
It seems as though I don't have much to show -
so much energy, spent in search of truth.
Little, have I, of what there is to know.
Like anyone, I've suffered from abuse,
but there's no point in stewing in my juice,
and ambition does not, at all times, pay,
when aiming at the wrong thing anyway,
and searching for love outside my own skin
is not as rich as finding it within.
With fellow pilgrims sharing life's bouquet,
I will try to appreciate each day.
To chase lady truth, I still have a while.
Till then, I'll do whatever brings a smile.
