I might not have accomplished much, and troubles I've been through. I could've done more good deeds and such; but I always tried to be true, and I did what I had to do.

Thanks Andrea! I'm glad I picked this one and that you liked it. I supposed a lot of people feel something like this about their lives. It seemed a little plain, but I liked it better than a goofy one I wrote, "Loves of My Life" where I tried to be clever.
