Try As You May

Try as you may,
try as you might,
you may never get it right,
or win the race,
or pass the test,
or ever know what is best,
or reach the moon,
or sail the seas,
or ever find someone to please,
or find the key,
or even the door,
or ever know what life is for,
or see the end
of the sky,
or ever know the answer to ,"Why?"
or find a home,
or place of rest,
and never cease to travel West.

You follow your dreams
to who knows where,
and will you know when you are there?

Try as you may,
try as you might,
you may never get it right.
