In the scheme of life I’ve always been at the bottom
In this life I’ve led I have always been downtrodden
But I’ve fought and I’ve struggled to keep my head above the waves
Refusing to be drowned or even dismayed.
Everything I’ve done has been down to me
Never been given anything like a foot up or money
But I’ve never resented anyone for the way I had to live
Because I decided long ago to take accountability
For my own life and the path I chose to take
Don’t blame other people just first the sake
Of being able to put the blame on someone other than me
Because they couldn’t know what I wanted to be
Or what I wanted to say or what I wanted to do
I am the only one who knows and I know that is the truth
But I’ve opened up my heart
And I’ve opened up my soul
Let the love in and the compassion too.
So as I take stock of what is my life
I know that I’ve made mistakes not always done right
But my heart was in the right place
Even when I got it wrong
And as the years just pass me by I know that I am strong
And that I did the best I could and that I gave it a good shot
This is the story not of the haves but definitely the have not’s.

Happiness can not be defined or achieved merely through materialism and wealth but by love compassion and tolerance. Be happy be love be the change.
