Life's Tour

To think that if my life hadn't taken a tour for a detour To see all the things that would be for me in store Just to know that once your changed many tend to see it To wonder what brought you to this point to mean it Gone are all the innocent ways and heartfelt helpful hands All the joking and more to placing my tears in opened cans Replaced by humbled blessings and memories of friends that ran To think that if my life hadn't taken a tour for a detour My ears wouldn't have heard the thunders roar My eyes wouldn't have seen all the looks of deceit and smiles of betrayal To know that my will was stronger while my body grew frail Being taught that faith and patience will take you abroad That every smiling face can sometimes be a fraud Believing in the only name that could help being God To think that if my life hadn't taken a tour for a detour To see and learn that life is a surviving game of explore To know that every fallen tear doesn't always bring sorrow and pain That a humbled heart has been bled and leaves a redden stain A watchful eye now realize to recognize the destructive lane switch life can course With a steadied hand and guided plan you sway against the venom force Now you realize you failed to recognize this dangerous chartered tour
