New Found H.O.P.E

New Found H.O.P.E                                                            5-12-07

My heart ached and pained for days and days
because the light in my eyes have faded away.
Like a broken recording my emotion, it plays,
As I stare at the sunset wasting the day.

My hands have inflicted and scorned.
Innocent bodies and spirits have come to be torn.
Sometimes I thought it best to die and be mourned,
Than to live and cause many to despise the day I was born.

Often times my words were soft spoken and mild.
I’ve kept dead my thoughts since I was a child.
In times of danger 911 my heart dialed,
Now mayhem’s to the rescue when emotions run wild.

In due time I will shine just like a light,
Darkness has befriended this soul within the night.
Sometimes it’s hard to see clear with no sight
But I keep my bible near and dear to my delight.

Try to keep away from demons blinded by the cash,
Slow to do right now I’ve been living life so fast.
Here today gone tomorrow vanish in a flash.
I lay me down to sleep and pray to God for peace at last.

Heaven’s in my heart I just want to live to tell
The story of a glory and escaping grips of hell.
Open up the clam find the pearl that fits the shell.
Hanging onto positive expectations, living well…

                             for the moment.
