Poem Title:
Poem
Of all the friends that I’ve known and lost I reckon at times life will collect its cost Sometimes the thought makes me sad As I start thinking of the dreams we had I know who was right and who was wrong I reckon it all plays out like a country song Life of the party is how the song did start But I reckon it ended with broken hearts As the years pass by and the memories fade I remember how we thought we had it made If life was a bull we had it by the horns Got the rose by scratching through the thorns I loved you all more than words can say I never meant to hurt anybody in any way But most of my life that was my only curse I tried to make it better as it just got worse Just as the guitar player starts a new cord I turned my life and will over to the Lord I’m setting here wishing you all could see The light of the Lord shinning bright in me I reckon life is less than funny that way There are some things we never get to say Things that are forever etched in the heart Pulling all of us further and further apart The Lord has given me a wonderful wife Together her and I share a beautiful life As far as our children it is beautiful to see We have formed a melting pot of a family From two families broken totally apart We all do cherish each other’s hearts I wrote this poem in hopes that someday You’ll read my words and feel what I say And know in your hearts its words are true Especially the ones, “I love all of you”
