Determined

DETERMINED! By Paul David Powers! It began when I was younger, I truly was a nerd! Then they said not good enough, gotta prove to you my worth! In my teens I was a Hippie, they said Hey cut your Hair! Even as a Christian, they really didn't care! I married rather early when I first became a man! Live for God with all my heart/lost everything I had! Determined went to college earned me three degrees, still they wouldn't accept the person that was me! Looking back I realize I gave it my best shot, now I'm in Retirement Age, True Love I've not forgot! So Yes I am Determined, you can't hold me down, in God I trust, the rest but dust! through Grace I Shall Abound!
