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.
