In life some of us find that one thing right that will make all of the bad worth it. |
-One Last Lie- by Keaton Foster A child A baby Someday Could be a lady A little girl Given by God A gift His shot And mine At redemption Her name Insignificant Her role Paramount What I needed Nothing before Everything now Desperate change A reason Not to be betrayed She depends on me I’m her dad Her king of the castle Her knight in shining armor Her everything right And can I just say Can I just confess What a hell of a thing So much power Corruptible to some I could make her Mold her Create a new world With each lesson Or I could do nothing Not a damn thing I could just late fate And or faith decide Taking any and all control I could let the cards fall I could let the sun shine Or darkness come to reside It could all be up to me Or none of it could be She is alive Newly born Naked Nubile Free of sin God’s precious gift For a man like me What an idea Such a twisted concept If there ever was one After all that he has done Or should I say Failed so miserably to do When I cried out Upon my soapbox I stood And said God above Please here my voice Understand that I am suffering That I am living a hell Unlike any ever lived I know I am sure Right about now That you are saying Expressing Life is damn tuff Impossible for so many of us Why should be any different We have all experience hell Or at least a version of it You would be justified But of course so am I God has given me a gift Another chance at life With her My precious little girl The one right thing That I could have ever hoped Before my eyes she will grow Before my eyes she will become More than I could have ever wished She is And will always be My one last lie Who spoke it God or me Is of course And will always be Irrelevant… One Last Lie |
