The Path
I walk down life’s road
All to see and to be
To bear my alloted load
To give for free or to charge a fee
To pen every masterful ode
As authentically as can only be me
To see and to be seen
To learn and to teach
To be apprentice and to be dean
To bequeath and to reach
That the shine and sheen from where I’ve been
May inspire each and herald a good preach
To do good and to faint not
Is not without the temptation to be weary
To painstakingly write to then blot
Be far from my schedule and diary
Never to tell of only how close I got
But to enter my rest truly and surely
To eat of the good of the land
To match the seasons with readiness
To increase as the grains of sand
In Godliness, in count, in business
And that mastery stays in head and hand
A second nature so effortless
To keep my mind on my matter
And where it matters others to mind
To stay clear of the chatter meant to flatter
And seek what is virtuous to find
And only wisdom and life to utter
That it may be well where I opined
