The Truth of Me

"The Truth of Me" by: Eric L. Boddie To tell the Truth of me Is so very easy you see Yet only few will understand Just what makes up this man For I desire not society's approval Because years ago, I made a permanent removal I am like no one else you will encounter I strive to be as somewhat of an astounder Because I am only going to be here once So I try to make the best of every day of every month And I really could care less what others think For this is my ship and only I can cause it to sink And that is why I Love all people the same So on the Day Of Judgment, God wont feel ashamed To Welcome me through His Pearly Gates Even though He Knows my every mistake But He Also Knows what my heart holds dear And to which level I am honestly sincere So my Truth is I Live to be in His Service Failure to do so is all that makes me nervous And that is the reason why if you ever need a friend I will always and forever have an ear to lend....

This is what I'm talking about - tell it like it is! You are the real deal my friend - bold, true, honest, fearless, a great human being! Best wishes and kindest regards. Pandita

Love to read your work. Keep on writing, and I'll keep on reading. Love how you include the Lord in your work as he is the center of everything. Without Him there is nothing.

temptation being there at one time, but something happens to change our lives where failure to do God's will is all that makes a difference and it would also make me nervous dangerous at the same time. Great job, Eric. Hugs Eve ~`*
