Kenny Henault Poet I do not know?

Ive Won

Everybody always asks me what im going to do with my life, where I'm headed 
and if i want a wife. How many kids i want where do i want to live, will i stay 
around home to be with my family..or will i go out and explore the world..theres 
so many choices and so many places to go, so when they ask me i simply 
reply.." I don't know ". They ask well r u afraid of failure, of losing, In all honesty i 
am but i understand life doesn't always work out the way its planned. things 
happen that you cant change its like a hot fire, the more you try to 
stop it and put it out...the hotter it gets, the bigger it gets until you finally lose 
control, that's when i turn towards the lord and ask him to shed light down upon 
the world as a whole. Because this world that his son died for has lost control, Its 
a shame to see what can happen to a beautiful soul, When its corrupted by all 
the sins in this world. But i realize he died for us for one reason...not to make 
everyone perfect, but to give us the choice to follow a honest life and to make it up 
to the palace in the sky. I hear about all the criminals and the things they do...I 
often wonder why? Did something happen in their childhood? Do they turn to 
violence as a release of anger and hate? or are they just desperate? I'll probably 
never be able to answer that just like one of lifes unanswered mysteries. Which 
brings me back to what I'm going to say to you when you ask me what i want to 
do on this earth. Well let me tell you a few things that i wish to happen...I want to 
be married...and to give a child birth. I want to provide for my family, do whatever it 
takes to make sure they get the best. I'm going to be thankful for every little thing 
even if its just the chance to rest. I will wake up every morning and give thanks to 
the lord, for giving me this chance at a wonderful life. Thank him for my lovely 
wife, my kids and the world i have created for them to live in and for this planet 
they live on . I tell you what...you asked me if I'm afraid of failure...well after 
completing all this in my life...id say I've won.
