#2958-Grumpy

My father often told me,

Not to take life seriously.

It was not something,

I could readily understand,

Until years had passed,

And I began looking back,

Through different eyes.

Why back then,

I couldn’t comprehend,

Is not a mystery,

But the natural path,

That needs time,

To unwind and be seen,

Before it can be traveled,

By eyes that perceive.
