I guess I may not now become <br />All of what I once hoped to be <br />And many’s a great youthful dream <br />I have seen take it’s leave of me <br />And I’m sure not worth a fortune <br />If you’re countin’ what’s in the bank <br />But in terms of what’s important <br />Well then money don’t even rank <br /> <br />Cos’ I have held a lover tight <br />Beneath a moon of silver bright <br />And counted all the diamons in the sky <br />Been able to make children laugh (CHORUS) <br />And let friends know I have their back <br />And I’ll be proud of that until I die <br />A life so simply lived, can be so wonderful <br />And I have known this life, at it’s most beautiful <br /> <br />Don’t need the fastest, flashest car <br />When there’s still Mother Nature’s kiss <br />And designer names might suit some <br />But I like how these old threads fit <br />Don’t often dress by the mirror <br />Or with anyone else in mind <br />Don’t really care who sees me where <br />I know that kinda sight is blind <br /> <br /> Repeat Chorus x2 <br /> <br />I like walkin’ in the country <br />Where everyone you meet will smile <br />City lights might hide the darkness <br />But they’ll burn out after a while <br />And sunshine breaks three times a year <br />Might well show some how far they’ve come <br />My comfort’s in a sound night’s sleep <br /> At peace with most of what I’ve done <br /> <br /> Repeat Chorus <br /> <br />I guess I may not now become <br />All of what I once hoped to be <br />But that’s o.k., cos’ along the way <br />I became me….<br /><br />Anthony Sullivan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-life-at-its-most-beautiful/
