Never a day that I cannot say
I am my own keeper
Mostly pay my own way.
Darkness and daylight
Mainly the same
Unless you have money,
Unless you have fame.
Not insecure,
Not really sad,
I have a place
To put my head.
Don’t think I’m a bum
With nothing much,
Who has no one.
A real life is more
Than the hours on a bill
And still the emptiness
No furniture fills
Sunday in church,
Saturday is me.
Love the times
When I can be free. I know I have some kind of place.
Got to keep on
Keeping on
With life
And its pace.
