A rest stop called life In this world I am just a traveler Life is but a town at which I will rest I doubt that I shall come this way again So any kindness I can show I ll show Any goodness I can do I ll do For I shall not remain here long my friends Like it or not my journey must continue Nature and I The sound of wind blowing through the trees The feel of the bright warm sun upon my face The soft feel on my body after a warm breeze I watch the sky where the birds all fly with grace The sounds of children playing who laugh with joy Dogs barks and birds songs also help fill the air I miss some of the things I had when I was a boy Thoughts of my present actions and future are there I feel the grass upon my naked feet I sit in my chair and deeply ponder My life to this point and my thoughts are discreet A crow caws and my mind begins to wander I think of my future present and past and realize unlike nature I won t always last
