"Life Cycle"


I’m getting older, settling down, maturing by the day
I was never sober, stressing out, but I’m fortunate to say
that I was taught by my mistakes, learned from my mishaps
& not preferring to sit back – I sought a different way...
- I was a pauper given change that turned my life around
not the sort you’re simply paid, but that reaffirms you’re right somehow.
And I deserved this righteous outlet for all the hurt I'd survived
through the fervour & strife encountered on my journey through life.
I felt worthless inside; The joys of parenthood would challenge that
for the good, a natural Dad, who understood that as it stands
he was untouched by happenstance, but would learn for himself
and there was nothing that his dad could do but nurture him well
with a worth of intelligence, caring, and whatever he needs
to further development - Life's cycle tending to be on endless repeat...
