Learning about yourself
Self Discovery
~~~~
In the mountains, west of Colorado,

Where the tops are covered with snow.

I set out to find my soul,


That was lost in the world below.


With each path I chosen to take,


I felt forgiven of earlier mistakes.



You learn about yourself when you’re all alone,


Where the fresh cooler air is all that’s known.


You learn to think, you learn to pray,


You learn to appreciate each coming day.


You learn the importance of religion and God,


A friend to lean on when times get hard.



You discover that no man’s a rock, its okay to cry,


When you revisit your loved ones who have passed you by,


You discover that life is what you make,


And how you have to give instead of take.


But most of all you discover peace,


And from that lesson, you must daily feast.
