Man grows up

Man grows up

But in the shadows of his shattered dreams

And his dreams are shaped by the joy

and in large measure

The heartbreak that he has seen

And the hopes that filled his heart

And that doubts that assailed him in between

And the doubts still in his head

Are doused out by the love he has seen

And that has been

And all that he hopes he will be

And the places that he hopes that he visit and see

And the men that he hoped to be

Me, I don’t analyse,

It just confuses me.
