Life Completed

I would give most anything if I could rewrite history But that would not rid us of past misery Lost in a world so full of rights, nobody cares to see my plight. All the mysteries and wonders of life are clearly reflected, as is the light. When my mind used to be overrun with emotions and thoughts, Lately now they are trapped and caught. Right now in my life I’m blinded by the ecstasy of living. I know that is why I’m so giving. So I sit back and think about the yesteryears, smiling at the change that has taken over me. Freedom has truly defined that is why I know that I’m free. Strolling down the memory lane, and unafraid of the future. See because I know my life is full of obstacles and adventure. Eventually, with my mind and eyes wide open, I’ve come to understand, that some things, including life, change for the better; well that’s what I’m hoping. With each new day, and with a brand new life to look forward to, I will just stay positive and to myself remain true. As I read the bible I’m trying to light the sadness of my empty soul. But I know that in my life God has complete control. Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. – Booker T. Washington
