My Song

~Not Like Me~ When you were first put into my arms, I begged God, to make you nothing like me For my sins, ask for no transformation This is my song, my meditation Look at my face Where has it gone, You no longer desire to be part of my song Look at my life, The toll hasn't been paid I'm the one suffering every day The vengeance of eternal flames, sit near the empty heart Burning my needs to hold you once more, I need you more than you'll ever know Now, Look at me, at the age of 73 I have nowhere to go Everyone I know awaits in a place of gold Unlike you, you're too busy, proud and bold ------ A different song!!! I sing a song, that accentuates the mind, I have no one to blame, I neglected all the signs Hoping the rain would slowly die off Today here I lay, wondering where I went wrong I implored God, to cause you nothing like me I have a heart that forgives and tries to forget I kneel, and I give, and I treat others with respect My compassion, I measured in the poorest way I judged my life worse than the others did Why did I ask ---- Not Like Me! For my sins, ask for no translation This is my song, my speculation The dreaded conclusion of this song, All I can say is, "Be careful what you ask for." In the end, all I can say, I got what I asked for Someone, who's Not Like Me...................... By: PD
