So It Goes

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)

So it goes
For most of us
We plot our lives the best we can

No present or future
Yet to be told
We all have our hopes

Take a good look.
At yourself
In the mirror of life

Let's see what you can
That shows
What you are or would like to be

Take this forward.
This is what
You should be forever and a day
