SUMMER DAYS A-GONE

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like
if ever I did everything many thought right

would I be happy would I be sane
or would I feel like a victim
in someone else’s game

I know not the reasons
as to why things are
as they are

but one thing is for certain
I am right where I belong

I deserve to be happy
and with my son I am
I deserve to be loved
and by many I am

I may not have lived
life as others thought
I should

but I would not give
this one up

not for the world
