Tucked away
Deep
Inside

Where
Humanity
Resides

Emotions, thoughts and
Big dreams
Too

Without them
We’re not me or
You

Tucked away
Deep
Inside

Where we live
And sometimes
Hide

It’s really rather good to be
A neophyte repeatedly

Back again at master’s knee
Learning anew, avidly

For lifelong fulfillment
An essential key

From the very beginning
When but wee

A dreamer
He would always
Be
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

Where his thoughts
They did roam
Free
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

Apart from reality
Unlike you and
Me
Nestled
High up in a
Tree

As time revealed
And all could
See
A dreamer
He would always
Be

A vagabond
I could not
Be
Though unattached,
Completely
Free

A vagabond
I could not
Be
Stability and routine
I like to
See

A vagabond
I could not
Be
A permanent home
Is much more
Me

Tucked away Deep Inside

Where Humanity Resides

Emotions, thoughts and Big dreams Too

Without them We’re not me or You

Tucked away Deep Inside

Where we live And sometimes Hide

It’s really rather good to be A neophyte repeatedly

Back again at master’s knee Learning anew, avidly

For lifelong fulfillment An essential key

From the very beginning When but wee

A dreamer He would always Be Nestled High up in a Tree

Where his thoughts They did roam Free Nestled High up in a Tree

Apart from reality Unlike you and Me Nestled High up in a Tree

As time revealed And all could See A dreamer He would always Be

A vagabond I could not Be Though unattached, Completely Free

A vagabond I could not Be Stability and routine I like to See

A vagabond I could not Be A permanent home Is much more Me

Keep your Enthusiasm At Every single Stage

Never, ever Lose it No matter What your Age

Not born With heels and toes Transposed

Forward We are meant To go

Life’s too Short To hold A Grudge

Stubbornly Refusing Ever To Budge

Crusting your Soul In Toxic Sludge

What’s Important To You May be Insignificant To Me
