I can hear it but I can't discern between the garbage and the truth;
I am older but no wiser and I wonder sometimes if I will ever get it
Because the longer I go in this life, the more opportunities I find
To ignore the pieces of the thread to which I should pay attention
And lose myself in silliness and wittiness that accounts for nothing.
I will hurt others around me and I will not see the scars I cause
Because I am too often lost in myself when I should be attuned
To the ones I care about, particularly my loved ones
Who look to me for concern and caring and love,
Over others, who too often show more concern
Than I do, from time to time, and that is why
I must step back and listen and learn and know
What is important for you and me and both of us.
