Duplex: "Living Peaceful in a Messy World"
So many things in this world seem to need my cleaning touch,
but who could stand to have an old man, raised eyebrows to fix it up.

Could you stand to have an old man's raised eyebrows to fix things up?
I couldn't bear to have someone micromanage my life.

How could I stand for someone telling me how to do the things of my life?
Now jobless I resort to peace, enjoying how to live.

Now jobless, but to live in peace, I enjoy this newfound life.
To write a poem every day or two or three or more

To write a poem every day or two or three or more
shows relaxed heart, a peaceful face with thoughtful songs to sing.

Show relaxed heart, a peaceful face with thoughtful songs to sing.
For some day soon this life is done, and God's Control is all.

When some day soon this life is done, and God's Control is all,
there will be no things in this world, that need my cleaning touch.
