How Big Is His Heart

There is a simple fact in life that I understand The size of the heart is the worth of the man I once was a man who had a little bit of wealth Though I was very worthless up inside of myself Thought I was smarter than the average guys It was just another spoonful of the devil’s lies Sacks of dope that were the size of a small suitcase With an endless amount of money that I could waste But to just stay happy it took every bit of it all Soon as I got back home another girl would call To big a whore to ever be strong enough to say no Let me get the shower hot, do a shot, and then we can go I had all the happiness and dope that money could buy I could never think about stopping because of the high I had to keep running I could never even try to slow Because I had a shattered heart and a very barren soul “You got it right”, and then one day I met my wife The everlasting, never ending, true love of my life We didn’t slow right away she just stayed at my side Only person I ever met that could go stride for stride But like all things in life it suddenly came to an end I completely confessed to the burdens of all of our sins The Police let everyone go free and I was back in the pen I guess once again I found I cared a little too much to win My lessons and changes in this life have been so very vast Letting one dream completely go made another one last The lesson in is this poem from the first word to the last If you want to love the future make the best use of the past The hardest thing I ever learned, really gave me my start Way to Judge the true size of a man, “How big is his heart” ------------------------------------------------------------ Even though this poem was written in regards to my wife and I, my wish is to dedicate it to all the fellers on the site that have hearts of gold as well as those ladies who have husbands or boyfriends with hearts of Gold. In fact even though it is written from a mans perspective I reckon it would also apply to the Ladies who also have pure beautiful hearts. Took me a lifetime to learn this I took great pride in being mean and cruel until the day The Lord set me free and opened up my heart. We all choose our own path and making the most of it is all we can do. If one of you decides to stay off the road I was on, Each of our paths will brighten cause the Lord never fails though he does test which of course makes us that much stronger. God Bless, MJ
