Where Did I Leave It

Where did I leave it, the rest of my mind
I honestly don't miss it, most times I find
Although when I'm searching for stuff that I've lost
I stop and then wonder is this the cost?

Will I be endlessly searching for stuff I set down
Then simply can't find again, when I turn back around
Will I ever find anything right where it was set
Is this as good as half a mind gets

It started some time ago when I was a child
I was always a little crazy and wild
One day I was playing, with my marbles outside
The wind came and scattered them about far and wide

I searched and I searched and then finally I quit
They were gone, I had lost them, I was in a snit
Over the years I've looked off and on
But I never did find them My marbles are gone!

So I soldier on through my life, Half a fool
Don't worry about me I don't even drool
I just spend my time searching for things
Engaged in the pleasure of the treasures it brings

Perhaps one fine day when I'm peering about
The light will dawn and the sun will come out
And glistening there in the deep grass I'll find
My long lost marbles or the rest of my mind
