It's Not, Just

I’m so interested I’ve become interesting,
Learning so much that I have become the teacher.
Once the listener, the observer,
My role has switched and so has the cycle of knowledge.

I’m not an expert, just time tested,
I’m not a hero, just been around long enough to save the day.

Where do I balance the new beginning,
With the old foundation built from beginnings.
They never end, just transform,
Making my role have a larger impact to those around me.

I’m not a king, just a natural leader,
I’m not the creator, just someone who loves creating for others.

Will my impact be remembered by those remembering,
The history of my actions that elevated my presence.
Once alone, now the family tree,
My adult role now must inspire the younger generation.

I’m not father of the year, just a dad,
I’m not perfect, just a man perfecting life’s opportunity.
