Contemplating
Someone asked a question several years ago.
It didn’t make sense to me then so I let it go
‘Why bother myself with that now’ was what I thought
The answer would be ‘yes’ anyway when the time comes
So I went back to playing with my friends;
Then I went to school;
Shortly after that I got married
People said I had become ‘responsible’
What for, they didn’t say.
Woke up this morning and didn’t feel like work
Something just didn’t seem right
Whatever happened to all the dreams I had growing up?
Whatever happened to all those lofty plans?
As I contemplated whether to go to work or not
I remembered that question I was asked all those years ago
It makes sense now and I can’t seem to let it go
I had thought the answer would be a straight Yea
But as I ask myself that question, I wasn’t quite sure
So I ask you the same question:
Would the boy you were yesterday be proud of the man you are today?
