Well once it was the children
I washed and put to bed
But now that time has flew by
I find it me instead
I never really noticed
Just when this came to pass
That I put on my Jim jams
Just after tea has past
Outside the children are playing
Without a single care
While I make myself some cocoa
Before I climb the stairs
These days I get so tired
And find I’m slowing down
But still I think of yesterday
And the way I’d run around
To live again those moments
To watch the rising sun
And be up really early
Just as the dawns begun
Those lovely secret moments
That comes but once in life
When family and friends
Invade your time of life.
You talk about enlightenment
and where it might be found
but I think it’s just a notion
that seems to spread around
for its not in any text book
or written anywhere
so it must be just a thought
that one alone can share
plus will it make a difference
to all the things I do
for I’ve heard about enlightenment
and only wish it true
but wait a little moment
do you know I think I’ve found
the meaning of enlightenment
and it never made a sound
for its always been within me
now how can I explain
am I going around in circles
that’s enlightenment again
Thought To Ponder – To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment. – Eckhart Tolle
