I Must Be . . .

"I must be about my Father's business." Do you remember that?
In reality, that's what all our lives are all about. Few feel that.
Since we're in this world, it is assumed by most everyone
That success in a material world is supposed to be what's done.

It depends entirely on where you're coming from, so "John Henry" over there
May be at a different milestone, and he could be at an entirely different "where"
Than you. If we could have this clearly explained to us as a child,
Our earth would be a much more tolerant place with a peaceful style.

If your brother stumbles, no matter where he is on the path,
Don't hate him. Try to help. And don't linger. Take up your own place, your own path.
Help those behind and don't hinder those ahead. Just keep your eye
On your "laid out" journey. Do your best even when you wonder "why."
