BELIEF AND CONVICTIONS MANY THINGS I HAVE COME TO KNOW;
MEANT TO ME UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT WAYS HE HAS TO BESTOW.
THAT THIS WORLD I WOULD PAINLESSLY NAVIGATE;
A THOUGHT THAT CAUSED ME TO RETALIATE.
SOON TO SEE THAT THIS WAS ONLY A LIE;
FOR ON TRUTH I HAVE COME TO RELY.
WHAT CAN I SAY WICH I NEED;
STRENGTH AND COURAGE AND VIRTUES ONLY TO FEED.
ON THIS PATH HAVE I EXPERIENCED OTHER THINGS;
OF THE GLORIOUS DELIVERANCE MY SOUL ALWAYS SINGS.
TO HELL AND BACK I HAVE TRAVELLED MANY A DAY;
I WAS PUSHED TO THE POINT WHEN I SAID I WOULD GO ALL THE WAY. PILLS IN HAND AND THEN TO MOUTH I PLACED;
THE CONCLUSION OF IMPUNITY I WAS FORCED TO FACE.
THAT THIS LIFE I WOULD MAKE PASS BY;
GOD WOULDN’T LET ME NO MATTER THE TRY.
CHOICES I HAD WERE TO LIVE IN MISERY OR IN PERFECT HARMONY;
TOTAL ACCEPTANCE THE ANSWER WOULD BE.
LIFE ON LIFES TERMS WAS THE WAY TO SURVIVE;
ONLY WHEN I LET GO DID I FEEL TRULY ALIVE.
EXHISTANCE IN THIS WORLD HAS ITS OWN RULES;
TO LEARN AND OBEY THINGS I LEARN TO USE THOSE TOOLS.
THAT SPIRIT MY EYES CANNOT REALLY SEE;
SOME I KNOW LIKE THAT GREEN-LEAFED TREE.
THEN THERE IS THAT ALL SO DEFINING FORCE;
TO LISTEN AND FOLLOW ITS LOVING DISCOURSE.
THIS I KNOW IS MY HONEST TO GOODNESS CALLING;
MY PRIDE AND EGO NEED A LEVELING.
TO STAND MERELY BY WAS THE LAW;
I AM NOT THE ONE IN THE SEAT OF CONTROL SOON I SAW.
A HAPPY TRAVELLER ON THIS ROAD I AM CONTENT TO ENJOY;
MY HOPES AND DREAMS I CAN NOW EMPLOY
