A Touch of Ideal I’m not so in love with this body or mind That I’d sorrow departure or those left behind But I’d like to leave some pen points veneer To brighten an eye or fill up an ear It’s never the task that tires you out But recognition that brings about doubt. It’s never the hardship that wears you down But being ridiculed likes that of a clown. It’s never another that causes your fall But admission you are not ten feet tall. It’s never the circumstance that makes you ill But the choice of your ego taking this pill You’re as tall as a mountain as broad as a sail With never a thought that you’d ever fail You fly like an eagle o’er canyons of awe With never a thought that you cannot do more With this as your guide this earth and this sky You’ll live every day with the never of why. |

With never a thought that you’d ever fail You fly like an eagle o’er canyons of awe With never a thought that you cannot do more With this as your guide this earth and this sky You’ll live every day with the never of why. Ahhh... is this kind of confidence actually attainable? *S* I love this touch of ideal, Seymour... Never doubt that you "leave some pen points veneer To brighten an eye or fill up an ear" Well done! |
