Spidey Williams Poet Verse

To God Be the Glory!

The other day I heard a voice. 
   Saying life is altered by a single choice
Be careful what you do or say 
    Think twice before you ask and pray
Life is lived day by day
     Think twice before you choose your way
We had little control of where we started
      With even less control from where we departed 
But we can more control the final end
       By choosing carefully our enmies and friends
We dance the dance we choose to dance
       Then we leave life to chance
Instead of living the life we chose to live
       We do exactly what others did
And then gets mad when God chooses not to forgive
        Who are we to know not, yet not know anything that is 
Afterward we get mad because it affected the kids
         You should of thought the thought
Before you thought to think
          the life you bought
You should of checked your wallet first
           Before you were shown the total cost
You should've been smart enough to put some back
           Before you found yourself running backwards down life's train tracks 
But instead you held your head high and out your chest
            you claimed your life was yours even til death
You friends tried to change you with their every breath
             But you dance the dance you chose to dance
And you rather leave life to mere chance.
              You was a now it all, yet you did not know it all
You were a warrior but never scared to fall
               You had two phones but never answered the right call
You always knew the right words to say
                 Yet you still went the other way
You knew how to talk and pray
                Yet you still lived life day by day
You knew life was more work then play
                 Yet you always knew it would be okay
How did you have such security
                In a world filled with lies and insecurities
How did you remain so strong 
                In a world filled with less rights then wrongs
How did you continue to fight
                When the society's wrongs out numbered your God given rights
How did your life shine so bright
                 When darkness smothered all of your light
Who gave you your strength when you needed it the most
                  That even to this day you still continue to boast
There has to be more to your story
                    But let you tell it 
To God be the glory!
