Lives With-In

Some things are never as they seem Have you ever lived a dream? I lived a nightmare when I was on dope That led to the pen and a loss of hope My soul was as dark as could be Seemingly lost to an endless sea An endless sea of forgotten ghost Everyone needs someone they love the most Just as a child will love their toys Love puts the home back in the boys Like it or not your in the same spot And the love of your homeboys is all you got Then one day I said a prayer Asking of God, “Lord are you still there” Before the last word could be spoken I feel to my knees all but broken I felt as warm as the summer sun As all my sins were undone The greatest thing I learned in the pen The spirit of the Lord lives with-in

Michael you can really thank God that he let you live through those days. So you could write about them, that other people could be touched by it, to maybe help them. this was a great message. Thank you for reading my by and by and for your comment.
