    I wrote this one day while I was pondering. Something my wife says I do too much of.

    Take Your Place In The World

    There comes a time in every mans' life
       When he looks back at all he's done
    Counts all the chances and ponders the passes
       Sees the truth he's lost and won
    While underneath that manly exterior's
       A boy who understands
    What it means when you have to grow up
       And take your place in the world as a man

    What does it take prob'ly close to thirty years
       To realize the adult inside
    Often not seeing sometimes not believing
       Take your soul along for the ride
    And when the light of understanding's the brightest
       It's the boy who understands
    What it means when you have to grow up
       And take your place in the world as a man

    Sometimes confusing or simply refusing
      To see the differences 'tween sex and love
    There's men who take like children who can't wait
       Or be responsible enough to judge
    They make their choices while doors open and close
       To a boy who understands
    What it means when you finally grow up
       And take your place in the world as a man

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
