All About Johnny

johnny was the life of the party 
when he used to go
a great sense of humor
but back then he didn't know 
the shy fellow 
who was mostly quiet
very,very rarely did he diet
he learned compassion 
at a very young age 
sometimes he thinks
at that moment he was saved

johnny today is a very different man
he's past all his test 
and knows how to make a stand
he is what God created
and now he knows
all the pieces that fit together
that God did mold
notice the poetry that he does so well
when he is singing his voice you can tell
there is a passion that haunts his words
the pain in life as life occurred

romance to johnny is the center of the world
his favorite past time is being with a girl
and turning them on is his favorite thing
i know my poetry make their hearts sing
ask him where it comes from 
the really good stuff? the truth is
i just write and it just comes up
sometimes my extra intelligence 
may just play a part
but when my God he made me 
He made me with an art  
so here i am, much like you
battered and scorned but not through
and if there is a message that
God want's me to give you
it is, live and let live
and allways be true
