A Lesson From God

This day I sought a peace from a totally different kind For I once was lost but now I'm found A house filled with smoke We both paused to help clear the air My one regret is Summer's end Left behind a very good friend, Someone with whom you can depend We have no clear ties to the parting quest A soft shoulder to cry on The perfume that you left out on your sofa Twist the cork off & let's celebrate This love was fought in which we both shall stand A lesson from God There's a true friend with whom you can depend One rain drop fell out on the patio The faint in heart may have to run away and hide A passerby spotted a big grey owl Where is the love when things go wrong Sorrow not for the dead because it's too late then That made my feelings hurt It's time for a new career The ultimate suprise to a brand new year A hoot of an owl from a big oak tree There is something in me that wants to die Like an injured seagull will surely tell me which direction to take When one is given a gift there can be no time to waste An injured tongue can often leave you with such a bitter taste Seek the truth with all your heart For when you are dead ther can be no more fresh start Let the ultimate surprise remove the scales from your blinded eyes.
