I'Ve Never Been

I've never been a soldier or fought in a war And though from my old Hometown I have travelled far I have never grown wealthy and never known fame And I feel happy that few even know me by name. I've never been anyway useful at sport At football or golf or on the tennis court Some call me a loser those with words who are cruel In the age of aggression the most aggressive rule. Though some of the big World out there I have seen A God fearing person I never have been Of the one known as God only good things we hear And if god is all good then him why should we fear? Though I have travelled far from my old native home I have never been to the Coliseum in Rome Or been to the Pyramids or seen China's great Wall In the future such memories I won't have to recall. I have never been good at any one thing And others my praises they never will sing The hard roads of life I have walked up and down And I live many miles from my northern Hometown.
