Travels

Remember as you travel this life,
that there's always more to find.
Now there's no need to sigh;
it's all a matter of time.

Do what you may.
It doesn't matter what you say.
Along life's path we travel.
Just stay off the gravel.

We all need some kindness.
Please don't be a miser.
For that leads to sadness.
And you'll be more the wiser.

For along come others,
our sisters and our brothers.
We've more alike than we know.
Help them before they go.

There's something I have come to learn;
I've remember it still.
Everyone has a turn;
no matter what I will.

So much to know;
but I'll continue to grow.
When I stop trying,
that's when I start dying.

I'll work on powers of the mind.
I'll walk the way.
And then I'll find:
Wisdom and knowledge one day.

I'll finally become a man
and hold out my hand.
At last a place where I belong.
Hopefully it won't be long.

It all takes time.
