Grampfather - Weeding

How do I prioritize
The troubles in my life
And those of the times
Constantly compromising
So is this the deal
Does it make sense
That when the ideal meets the real
We settle for much less
Than what we had in mind
Ceaselessly sacrificing
Sifting through
The good and bad
But who knows what gems
Might slip through the cracks
There's just too much
To learn and forget
Just seeing what sticks
And what gets left
In the valley of debt
At what cost do we reach the summit
How evenly
Are the flowers and the weeds
Spaced between
The withered and their seeds
Last time you checked
Weeding
Trying to get it right
With each one you rip out
Another one grows overnight
What unsung work it is
Just to maintain
Balance in a mind field
When it won't stop raining
How do I prioritize
What grows from within
And what seeps in from outside
There's just too much
To learn and regret
But there's just some things
You never can forget
But isn't it better yet
Than to completely numb your conscience
