I Would Write a Song {resubmit}

So much of my life I spent doing wrong If I could write music I would write a song I have done things a man shouldn't do These words are written for they are true If you open your heart and look to the sky Ask of the Lord then hear the reply It won't come in words not words you can hear It may come with a smile or fall as a tear I found an angel said bye to my ghost After I lost everything I gained the most I found the Lord through the poems I pray Sometimes it’s best to just give it away I write out my words for they help me see Simple is best for simple is free Think of yourself just never think down Your mind holds the music just listen to the sound Everyone you meet has something to say Be sure to include them in the prayers that you pray All that you do and all that you see Shares in your story and your destiny When dealing with others do what you do Just be kind and gentle to those you do it to Everything is nothing that it shouldn't be As a seconds a second and a tree is a tree

To everything there is a purpose. In the long run, some things are just meant to be. Have a great day, Michael. Vince

Michael you have become a wise man through your trials. Just being able to accept and appreciate what God gives us is a true miracle. You have reaped a harvest the majority of man kind pushes aside. God Bless, Mom Beer
