They say we are our ancestors
And I believe that’s true
Often times I catch myself
Doing what they would do.
My ancestors were Puritans
With a work ethic tried and true
No time for sloth or laziness
We’re on this earth to DO.
My soul is more contemplative
The busy life’s not for me
I find myself more at peace
When I can simply BE.
I’ve developed a great solution
I’ll combine the DO and the BE
I’ll rest on the bank of a flowing creek
But take my fishing pole with me.
Then my conscience will be at rest
And critical tongues of those who look
For I, a doer will cast my line
But on the end will be no hook.
