I sit here in my back yard A cup of tea my third so far I like to think and contemplate The present the future and my fate Deep questions are on my mind Now I have the time to unwind Certain things that I don't know Who I am and where I'll go And I haven't worked it all out yet And I don't know if I will this lifetime All I know is that I take each day as a note on my endless page I thought that I was well informed Most people my age do But I find that as I age The questions longer each step that I take I talk to people that I respect They say they haven't worked it out yet So why this question of who are we? Can we not just be?
