I was a man-child in tha day
And I was just looking to play
Looking for ways to set me free
I searched here and I searched there
Didn’t want to be anyone's square
Looking in the gutters for the key
I walked into places on a dare
Got out with a wing and a prayer
I looked for me and then I'd flee
Fists clenched I was on flash point
Smiling ladies saved me sometimes
I traveled this land from sea to sea
But it is the here and the now
I'm who I am without kowtow
The difference between now and then
Within the last year I found my Zen

It doesn't get any better than that.

Nope, "It doesn't get any better than that",
Amen to that, JP!

Thanks, Ms. E. It's always nice to see your smiling face here. Why do I know it is smiling? Because I just feel you are a smiling kinda girl/woman.

Half way through a good book just now, but needed some poetry between the black and white of life.

This is good, Jerry. We all travel a multitude of paths to find a bit of peacefilled semblance in our days, and nights.

Glad you are liking the book. / Yes, Karilea, we have to find our own paths to the light and happiness.
