Happy Fool by Ronald S Porter ©2019

Before I sang the heartbreak blues
Before I put on my travelin’ shoes
Back when I believed true love lasts forever
What a happy fool I was.

When I did not know hearts could be turned cold
When I hadn’t learned what people will do for gold.
Back when I believed love can conquer all
What a happy fool I was.

Now I’ve been schooled in deceit and malice
Now, I know how to shield my heart in callous
Since truth taught me to be a skeptic and cynic
What a wise but sad man Am I

Too long lonely; too much alone
Despite the disappointments I have known
I choose to believe love still waits for me
And I will, once more, a happy fool be.
