My Crystal Ball

My Crystal Ball I have this little crystal ball I’m afraid to look inside Afraid to see the future Afraid of what it hides I don’t want to see What tomorrow may bring It may bring happiness Heart aches and pain It just might show me things I do not want to see Causing sorrow to over take A great part of me What must I do with my Little crystal ball Should I look inside and Answer to its call? Maybe I will see; where Time is no more Or maybe it will be Better days then before Part of me wants to know What tomorrow will bring It could hold riches, or Almost any thing To want to know the future They tell me it’s a crime It’s something that bothers Me; consonantly on my mind My crystal ball stares at me While setting on the shelf I am tempted to look I just can’t help myself Trying to see the future Is like a hard riddle Keep messing with the present You get caught up in the middle I think I’ll throw my crystal ball Far out in the sea Cause only God knows my future And what’s in store for me
