I’m learning truth at 70
That life is meant for you and me
Not only for those who we can see
who just look better off than me
The cross-sea trips I never took
Not having read the latest book
It seemed that I had missed a lot
At 70, I’m learning truths
——-
Was one of those who wander round
Creating screwups by pound
Thinking something was not right
Thinking that I’m just not tight
While other seemed so happily
I contemplated misery
It wasn’t all it seems, at 70
——-
There came a moment in my life
When my time was filled with strife
And, in a dream I realized
To see that I was who I was was fine
And then and much to my surprise
I rather liked looking in my eyes
To see that I was pretty good,
And I had lived my life the best I could.
——-
It turns out life is not about me
Helping others is the key
Telling them great they are
Telling them they are the star
Instead of making them feel sad
Why not make them feel glad
That suddenly occurred to me
At 70.
——-
So now it is fun to wander around
To sometimes turn things upside down
It’s so much fun for me to see
How happy people can be
I do believe in kingdom come
And really thinks God’s will be done
But now I see god differently
And see that he is inside me
——-
So I play the game, but now I care
I do not treat my friends at all unfair
Instead I try the best I can
To be an honest upright man
And always myself I do forgive
I found that is the best way to live
Life is everything, it seems
At 70.
