More
There's more to me than what you see,
When younger, I birthed a family;
I've hunted, fished, lived off the land,
Even turned the heads of many a man.
I've loved with passion and great need,
Yet, haven't succumbed to selfish greed;
Children four, I tried to raise with care,
Lost many a loved one and despaired.
I've reinvented myself so many times,
Left scars of the old self far behind;
I've written poems, songs and books,
And given my life a good hard look.
I've given all of me, it seems,
But never have I chased after dreams;
I'm content to be within my own skin,
And now-a-days, I consider that a win!
There are pills to take for the pains of age,
But none to make you a wise old Sage;
Life's Lessons form who we become,
We are nothing less than that total sum.
