Chapter 13 - To the victor the spoils
Chapter 13 - To the victor the spoils
You beat me to the finish line,
At your own pace, determined and earnest.
I tell myself that I am fine,
I haven’t failed by not leaving the nest,
Not having a sheepskin,
Not making a living wage.
But it’s still a beautiful world we’re living in,
Even if we’re not living on the same page.
And it’ll be a wonder, to watch you shine—
Watch you learn to fly.
I’ll smell the roses on this slower path,
Wave at you and the clouds as you drift by.
At your own pace, determined and earnest.
I tell myself that I am fine,
I haven’t failed by not leaving the nest,
Not having a sheepskin,
Not making a living wage.
But it’s still a beautiful world we’re living in,
Even if we’re not living on the same page.
And it’ll be a wonder, to watch you shine—
Watch you learn to fly.
I’ll smell the roses on this slower path,
Wave at you and the clouds as you drift by.
