Sixty Years - My Life - I Live

My life, I've lived...for sixty years 
Like you, some days...were filled with tears 
In life, I've tried, my best...be good 
To share, my love...with brotherhood
 
Lassoed by satin's rope...a few 
Cut loose, myself...my whole life through 
To walk a path...in promise land 
In times of need... to lend my hand
 
Sixty years, of life...I live 
Still, I've got so much more...to give

I enjoyed the story of your life, Charles. I think many can relate to it. I'm a bit older than you and 60 for me was not a good year!! I'm hoping it turns around soon!

Keep living friend. You might not be aware but I’m guessing you had help cutting that rope. Blessings Rick.
