Peter Hall Poet Free verse

That’s not what I’ve done with my life

You can say what you want to say 
You can talk how you want to talk
But that is not what I have done with my life.

So you think you know how I think
So you think you know where I stand
But I am more than what you’ve done with your life.

I’ve done more than you think I can
I am more than you think I am
I’ve done more than you think I can with my life.

I’ve seen more than you ever will
I feel things more than you feel
What you say shows what you think of your own life.

I have walked where you never have walked 
I have done things You never could do
I’ve done more than you see with my life.

If you don’t respect whom I am
If you don’t respect what I’ve done
Then you’ve missed out on what I’ve done with my life.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
