Swimming against the tide



I have always been
One who swims against the tide
Who listens to the other side

Just who these days
Thinks they know all there is to know?
For there’s much more room to grow

In these dark days of ours
I may not be all that bright
But I am searching for the light

So you will not see me
Idly drifting down the stream
My way is to follow every dream

  4. "Against the tide" becomes "with every tide"--very fine use of comparisons.

  8. Staying open to new ideas is what keeps us young. My immediate supervisor and my friend's spouse are the same age and have similar infirmities, but the one who tries new things and gets excited over new ideas looks decades younger.

  10. Nice. It's not always good to merely follow the stream, but to swim against it and make discoveries.
