"me, Just Me"

I spent half my life chasing the devil...
Thank God I was always followed by an Angel..
Tried my best to be a gentlemen and love life..
Did my best to always not to choose wrong over right...
The truth is what you got from this later in life poet...
Hope my words go on for others to show it...
So as I pass to the other side, when you think
of me remember, I did enjoy the ride....
