where my heart is

0 posted 2007-01-15 05:21 AM


I woke up this morning
Not knowing
Not sure of where id be
When light fled to hiding

I ran along today
Finding my own way
I looked around the city
And down the busy streets

Each person there I saw
Had a home where they belong
I wandered around and past them
With a sparkle and a grin

I can’t afford to spend
And I can’t just run again
Though I don’t have a profit
I earned from what most quit

Many look ahead and dream
For what may seem to please
But in truth they’re just content
Not happy with what they’ve spent

I’ve searched everything under the sun
and have less than when I begun
but when I quit I finally saw
that what I wanted I had all along

the hopes and desires of people
have formed a “one size fits all”
you can’t decide your future
you can only make sure you get there

the moonlight shines and its time to find
a sufficient place to stay for the night
and though I may not have an address,
I’ve finished my pursuit of happiness.

Ok, forced rhyme ya…w/ever….oh, and I did get the idea from the movie “pursuit of happiness…”
