Previously Engaged

Author: Benjamin F. Schenck

I understand my uncertain heart

I have been witness to opportunities dance

But reality remains reality

And at this I am previously engaged

I have cultivated the garden

And grown the fruits of venture sought

And though the taste is faint in my mouth

From an inticement of long ago

I have yet to dine in this Eden

But I have planted upon that taste

And I must tend and care

Even though the garden I see yonder

Looks brighter, greener, taller and tastier

I must stay, tend here, for

I am previously engaged
