What Have I Done?

28.05.2008

What have I done,
G*d Allmighty,
To carry such burdens through life?

Time is not kind to Survivors -
Why do you still force me to last?

And if I'm another year older,
And if I get heavier at heart?

Don't think I'll be wiser or stronger -
Years heal wounds
But they leave you
With scars...

D.M. - that they do and over the course of a lifetime those scars start looking like a road map of L.A. - But all in all in my case at least it is getting better - Not too fancy but very nice as to my own desires - Nice home, beautiful wife, wonderful kids what more could any man ask for. One day at time dawg one day at a time - God Bless, MJ
