So Much Better Than Good

 

So many things I’d yet to learn

So many coulds I wouldn’t should

Always pondering distant dreams

Of feeling so much better than good

 

Something was always out there

Like a star way out of reach

But life is a far long schooling

With so many things to teach

 

A prophet forecast years ago

The greatest gift will come but late

Not in wrappings nor filled pockets

But in a soul that shared my fate

 

I can’t say for sure it’s near

But my life force feels it’s so

And it gives me strength to persevere

Trust my heart and ride the flow

 

What will be will appear to me

As all that comes begins with end

If love will help me light the way

Then life will stay a cherished friend
