The Fool

I have no doubt in my heart the signs are clear, I am fool I have scattered and not hoarded and I never paid heed to the ripe ears that fell I never thought the season would ever pass me by My trodden paths are places angels would not tread Is it because they do fear the evil around? Or was it because I was full on dutch courage One day, my life will waste away on this mother's ruin. I pray God to take away the years I have left. I've squandered and spent the daring days of my youth. Men of my age now sit in council pointing fingers saying, "He is a fool" I don't know how long i'll walk this Earth Though I am a fool, no man can judge me but God.
