Drinking From Mercy's Cup

Drinking From Mercy's Cup You knocked me so far down laughed at me like a clown Shot holes in my many sails nailed my hands full of nails Sent dogs so fiercely biting then gave more not inviting Hating my sweet loved ones dropping insults by the tons You turned my life into hell cursed me with an evil spell Took away all my sweetest joy my mind you tried to destroy I managed to withstand it all rose up to stand so very tall Renewed my faith in true love pushing back as you shove My heart found love yet again after you bolted with a friend Life erupted, saw a great rebound again heart and spirit were found A path made away from your hate yes, I found it was not too late I fought to just spring back up drink joyfully from mercy's cup Robert J.
