Poem
Do you ever think of tomorrow and wish you had a glance? Tell me if you had a crystal ball would you take a chance? Do you ever think of yesterday, a song you used to sing? Embracing all the memories, joy and pain they would bring In the space of your today, up underneath your skin Do you find a certain comfort the one that’s born with-in? There was a time in my life I really couldn’t stand myself I was so confused as to what a man should hold as wealth Every life has a turning point as it teeters to and fro And sometimes it is very hard to know which way to go There is no way to excuse the choices that I have made And I’m the one who is to blame for prices I have paid There is nobody else to blame for the things I’ve done It was of my free will I chose, not to follow the chosen one I rode with demons as they laughed and watched the angels cry Never even once second-guessing or asking myself why And I used to be a liar I would lie all the time Was no end to the excuses come out of these lips of mine But that was many years ago I’m not that man today You see I found the Lord and got down on my knees to pray I said, Lord as you know I’ve wasted every bit of my youth Today what I’m asking of you Lord, please grant me the gift of truth I figured truth and honesty would be a good place to start To try and better understand how the bless the human heart I quickly learned a lesson, a lesson of untold wealth The trick to being honest is being honest with yourself For if your honest with yourself to another you can’t lie And if you just confess everything you have no reason why My methods may not always appease but know these words are true Honesty is the motivating factor behind everything I do And everybody knows it they don’t even question why They know I would have lied about myself if I were going to lie And the reason that I know this I’m very proud to say Is by the comments left to me just the other day I just wanted thank everyone for their supportive comments the other day. You have became such an important part of my day I would be lost with out you guys, God bless, MJ
