Self Portrait

I don't have the physical beauty anymore
I don't know that I ever did have it
But once or twice I thought I might

I have moments of pure happiness now
I don't know if that was true before
But I suppose it may have been

I don't doubt
That there are swings
And there are roundabouts

I have a peace at this time
With sunlight streaming through the windows
I enjoyed contemplation in the past although I was no master

I should be doing something else right now, which vexes me
That I could stray from this enduring love
To find a more laborious occupation
