My Way of Life

Looking back on a life spent in a fiercely competitive world, I created this song to pass my heartfelt feelings down to my children.

It has been 60 years since I boarded that train away from home as a 15-year-old boy. While others were frantically chasing success, I always stood at the edge of the crowd, taking things slow and keeping my shoulders relaxed.

"Even with a missing sock, you can still walk just fine."

I never harbored lofty ambitions, nor was I good at being worldly-wise. Yet, it was this very unpretentious, laid-back way of living that brought my family together with smiles every single day.

I offer this song to my dear children-as a celebration of the humble road I've walked, and the warm, quiet bliss I cherish today.
