Words of Wisdom

as i go through this life staying focused on my goals
hoping that i don't lose sight and keep an eye on my soul
may i never sell it,or put it up for grabs
just to get fame and fortune which really don't last
how can one measure happiness? i really don't know
if you have no direction which way can u go?
life can be tricky it often throws curves
sometimes it's with actions sometimes it's with words
i observe daily what goes on in this life
though everyday i struggle,just trying to get it right
what more can i say is the question i ask
as long as lessons are learned from things of the past
