The List
I’ve broken some hearts
when I didn’t mean to
lived months of rain
and skies of blue
been to love’s buffet
where there wasn’t any food
bitten off more
than I could chew
I’ve traveled the world
I like it here best
learned some lessons
from some pretty hard tests
been down and out
had to use reset
turned my face from heaven
and have still been blessed
I’ve been betrayed by
some I thought were friends
I’ve been to a Priest
and confessed my sins
the list will grow longer
before it can end
always starting over
and over again
