A Clever Man

If I were a clever man,
who knew the ways of all,
it might help me along the way,
and save me from a fall.

If really clever, I would be
perfect in every way,
I wouldn’t have to take advice,
from others every day.

I‘d be the very, very best.
my knowledge would shine through,
then everyone would be my friend,
and ask me, what to do.

If I were wise I’d share with all,
some of the things I know,
then friends would look at me in awe,
and follow where I go.

You’ve come this far, so what d’ya think,
is this the one you’d love,
a clever arse, who knows it all,
and feels one step above?

I’m glad I’m not a clever man,
I love to seek advice,
for vanity’s the quickest way
to lose one’s friends for life.

I know, that I know nothing
of the things that make one smart,
but with friends, and love, and kindness,
I’ve found comfort in my heart.

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

this is an in depth search resulting is satisfaction, what a blessing that is.  Not many can say they are as happy with themselves.

"but with friends, and love, and kindness,

~ and that says it all!

A true measure of happiness! ~ and that proves that you are a VERY "clever" man!

Love the skin you're in!

Namaste
