A Toy On the Shelf

The Devil opened his new toy Placing his old one on a shelf Never dreaming on that tier That I would find myself I have shed ten million tears If I have shed a one They all formed into a river That carried me to the Son He pulled me from the river A smile upon his face Said, "I'm glad you are no longer Caught up in the race" Devils eyes danced with anger For he truly knew I have always been the type of man Devoted to what I do What I do is what I must I wear it on my sleeve For deep up in my heart and soul I truly do believe That each and everyone of us Humanity as a whole Has a desire inside of us To find away to grow As we grow lets let it show Each and everyday That it is for our neighbors We bow our heads to pray Written for all my friends who have been holding my family and I in prayer.
