Knowledge

Sometimes life seems like rough a road And successes are so very few But sometimes were guilty of looking a head We take our eyes off the present view We can’t see the future that awaits us But we can hold on what we have now And once we learn to appreciate that The future will find its way to us some how I don’t have a masters or collage degree In fact I never been to school since age seven But I educate my self with everyday life Like respect, sharing, honestly and giving And knowledge that I have come to possess It helps me in my poems and story telling And I know I make a lot of mistakes For I was never good when comes to spelling It don’t matter the level of our educations It’s the kindness and respect that will follow you Every one of us possesses great powers To help others dreams come true A little act of caring shown to the needy Can pave a road that leads to prosperity And if our kindness can change their lives Isn’t that using our knowledge to help humanity? And while we all hope for a future so bright It will not be wise to let the present slip away For we will never find that dream tomorrow If we don’t wake our self’s today I have never ask for much out of this life But one day god sends the girl I dream of And she became my present, and my future My wife, the mother of our child, the keeper of my love And I remember me father saying to me God sees all, and will reward us for what we do And if he was here today, he would have been so Proud of having a daughter in law like you There’s so many dreams floating around us For every one dance to a different music So don’t look to a future that you can’t see Because by doing that you might have just miss it The word respect means the most to me It’s the most powerful word of them all For if we don’t have respect with us Then we don’t have any knowledge all
