Poem
I did what I was born to do
Didn't go as far
Didn't reach as many
Didn't see as much

I did what I was born to do
No excuses, complaints, or regrets
No looking back but straight ahead
No short of this or the lack of that

I did what I was born to do
I knew it just past the age of 14
I knew what but not how or when
I only knew that God spoke within

I did what I was born to do
I positioned myself to go for the finish
I pursued my course for excellence
I prepared myself for readiness

I did what I was born to do
I stood the test by doing my best
I stood for the right and against the rest
I reached for the high bar, never settling for less                                            

I did what I was born to do
It didn't mean I had to quit when forced to sit
I learned to beware of stress and always reassess                                      
Life isn't always a song; sometimes we have to reset

I did what I was born to do                                                                                                                              There were times I wish that I could talk more and think less                                                                          There were times early on that I wanted to be just perfect                                                                                              That all changed after a series of reality checks and rejects

I did what I was born to do                                                                                                                                       There were many questions sometimes about whether I shoulda                                                                    I wont mention the times that I questioned if I really coulda                                                                           At times there were self-debates about the what if I woulda  

I did what I was born to do                                                                                                                                 There were certain great ones that I wanted to be like                                                              I wanted to be like Billy and Bob, Carlis and Martin, Mark and Mary                                                      Never wanted to be Ike, and decided I'm best at being the best me
   
In my heart, I believe that when I come to the finish,
The Lord will say, "Well done thou good and faithful servant"
Yes, it's true; I did what I was born to do
