Wise Or Not So Wise

There were so many times when sorrow Brought down my graying head. I wonder if the trip was worth it When all but grief has fled. Chorus But the light still shines about me, And love refills the space. The clear still waters of my life Reflect an unlined face. The chase after fame for another Has left him with furrowed brow. The riches he’s spent his life seeking Only make his shoulders bow. Chorus We each chose direction to go. The better choice takes a lifetime to know.
