I am my own true fate....

With tiny steps I tread with care
what lies ahead I'm unaware.
I walk in darkness with no proof
Of what's to draw me from my youth.


Each day an open ended plot
To teach me something I'd forgot.
With arms outstretched I make my way
through obstacles of each new day.

What's left behind what's down the track?
'Oh juvenescence take me back!.
I want the passion and energy
I want to be all glittery.


To write and act out my life's story
On a podium of self earned glory.
To feel the sun upon my face
The warmth and glow of one's own grace
Adore, adore, adore myself
This is the meaning of true wealth.
