By God's Grace
I hapt upon a poem one day
That literally stole my heart away
It spoke of the days he'd known
The ones that were good
And the ones gone wrong.
He made his choice and took the wrong trail
Spent many a year in and out of jail
He made no bones about it all
His head held high it was his call
Then one day he heard a voice
That gave to him another choice
He then discovered, pen in hand
He could convey his messages across the land
He told it all, the good and bad
Relayed to other to take the chance
The voice that called to him was there
All they need do was have no fear.
And today his family dear
Is thankful to hold him so near
If I were to have another child
I'd give these poems as a guide.
Who is this man of mystery
That I do so endorse
Well my friends, I'm proud to say
It's Michael Jordan, of course.
