I Have Been Doing It Wrong

I always tried to do things right

Sometimes my days went well

Other times they were a real shame

Where I took all the blame

I would convince myself I could do better

Then I would try the best I know and go one my merry way

Once again this time it could be one month down the road

I have stopped to smell the flowers and saw some beautiful roses

Not long before I got pricked by a thorn hidden under brush

Lesson learned

Now I decided to walk a dirt road

One I have passed by many times

Walking along I saw a tree

Standing tall reaching it's branches out into the world

Then I was sadden by the thought

This poor tree can never leave this spot

Where I can roam all over the world

But don;t

I am happy to go to work every day

Getting paid from my career job

The job I like but I can't see myself doing it for ever

Just long enough to cover expenses

Then I will prove once and for all

There is more than one way to enjoy life

As long as I put all I have into it

This gives me a little more time to think
