Stay on the straight and narrow path, they told us in our youth.
And join the Righteous Company in endless search for truth.
They told us that prosperity was just around the bend.
Success, they said awaited us, down at the rainbow's end.
But though we've searched incessantly, consulted young and old
Our search has proven fruitless. We've found no pot of gold.
And though we've walked the narrow path as epigrams dictate
We've yet to find that promised bend along a path that's straight.
But we're not disillusioned as we tread the road of life.
We tell ourselves that better times will follow days of strife
We tell ourselves we'll benefit from lessons that we learn----
It is indeed a long, long road that never has a turn
Youth Is A State Of The Soul -
Nothing To Do With Age, But Everything To Do With Attitude.
