" You must cut your cloth, to suit your coat "
........................................................................
So many corridors beckon me,
Numerous paths I could choose
Mazes and labyrinths bewilder me
Which one will I take,
What one will lead me home
All is confusion and strife,
And I haven't a clue
How do I solve this problem,
That vexes me so
One road leads me this way,
Another takes me there
How can I get consistency
My decision making is all at sea
How can I help you my dearest friend
When I can't even help myself
Who do I turn to,
When there is no one left in view
Life is surely an enigma
Shrouded in complete mystery
No one really cares
Is the bottom line I'm know
Too busy looking out for number one
They don't even see me here
Then out of the blue
I heard a voice inside whisper
Stop and listen to my discourse
I've got some smart advice for you
Here me out from first to last
I am your guardian angel,
Assigned to you from birth
Your troubles started
The moment you closed your ears to me
Thought you knew it all
And schemed yourself away
Followed the dictates
Of every passing whim
And sold your birthrights
For another swig of gin
Money became your God
And power made you drunk
You thought you could have your cake
And eat it just as well
Well let me tell you something
You obviously didn't know
Everything comes with a price tag
As above, as below
So jump off the bandwagon
Quit the roundabout of ego
And remember just who you are
Step back out of the limelight
And find your natural stride again
Put away all residual immaturity
And grasp the nettle of reality
You will find to your surprise
That is where it is all at

thought-provoking write. Were I not caught in a maze of my own,
I would probably have some advice. So many times I have wondered,
What would have happened if I had turned left instead of right?
Taken a detour, or not? Guess everyone does. Good show!! 'Pea' <3

Quit the roundabout of ego
And remember just who you are
We should all thank God for Guardian Angels, Peter, and we should all listen when they whisper in our ears.
