A Life of Fame or a Life of Norm

 

I stop and I look at my life.
I am surrounded by a life of accomplishment,fame,
and I see the many people who I touched throughout the world.

This is not at all the way I thought it would be.
When I was a young girl, I thought I would
be a simple person, in a simple town, living a simple life.

But no, that is not what happened.

Is it good my life took this trail of young glory?
I really am not sure.
Would I be happier now if I could have took that other way of being alive?

I ask you this my friend, but indeed I do tell you.
I figure this is the way things are suppose to be,
God had allowed it to be so.
So now I look around and accept the path I am on,
and I continue to reach for that bright shining star hidden behind the sun.
