I use to think my life was a waste until I had my first child, now I know its not. |
-Take Life- by Keaton Foster She smiles I cry She lives And I am about to die She came into being Wondrous this dream I stared into her eyes I saw everything raw Everything in simplest form Nothing standing in her way Nothing causing her pain The world all around Is to be hers While no longer Will it be mine I knew Without question That I must pay Her creation Was not for free God wishes his dues I owe him More than most More than I could ever afford An ounce of flesh For every sin Quickly adds up To the sum of who we are And what we have done Her life Was meant to be Mine Not so much It has always seemed As if I was meant for this And to that I say So be it Before I leave Before I must go I say to her Precious child My only right Take this life The one so blessed The one so meant Make it great Do no waste Dare not hesitate Find your true significance Make it your everything Embrace what was meant Fear nothing Except God and his hand His simple plans Written in his book His pseudo manifesto He won’t let you down He won’t fail Your heart or mind Embrace what he means Deeper inside Take it from me Do as I could never seem Fight the wickedness That so often I bleed Grow old And I wish Never be cold Live for me Exist for yourself There can be nothing else Take life In this form From this barter I’ll pay as I must So that you don’t have to I’ll do what’s right Please do the same I’ll pay for my mistakes So that there is no chance That you’ll ever have to… Take Life Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
