Our Single Soul

As the trials of life come and go Accept there blessings into your soul Let them become without a doubt A model of what you're all about Don't let them get you all depressed All things in life need be addressed Let your spirit be like the wind Your unseen dearest friend As I see the lines in my face Each a reminder of certain place Do I wish they would go away? Or that my hair wasn't turning grey I have no desire to regain youth For I have learned to speak my truth When I was young I was so lost I let my soul pay the cost Running hard against the grain Using drugs to kill the pain Now I feel each and every day Use the Lord to take the pain away Do what I can accepting what I get Treasure blessings that come of it Thank the Lord through the poems I pray Use what I need give the rest away I seem to be driven by a single goal Can you feel my heart and soul? I slice them open in hopes they will bleed Something that someone might need The single fear I know so well The fear that my words will fail So once again I face my fear As I write I shed my tears Because these words are spoken true My heart belongs to all of you And through it's love I hope to show We all share a single soul A soul that is bound by love Given us by the Lord above
