What Really Counts In Life

I swore I'd never do it But in the end I did I turned out like my parents Didn't want to as a kid Some would call it destiny Others a matter of fate When I think of what I've become It's myself I really hate Its time to break that chain Put an end to this insanity Before I see my own kids End up in this calamity Genetics plays a big part But we all have freedom of choice I wish the children of the world Could hear the pain that's in my voice Better to do good from the start Even if they call you a ***** Chances are when you grow up You'll be the one who's rich Rich with a lot of money And in all the things you do Cause what really counts in life No one can given to you Hold yourself in high esteem Be kind to your fellow man Help all others when you can Be part of God's devine plan These few words I'll leave to you To help you in your plight Be honest in your thoughts and deeds And always do what's right

Your words speak the truth Robert, I think we are all works in progress, I endeavour to follow a righteous life, following God's plan.
