Growing up for me was not easy Every day at school kids would tease me And after school every night I came home to some kind of fight My whole childhood was filled with pain I felt lost, cold, left out in the rain As a young adult with responsibility I failed to live my life with dignity All the bad things that filled me with grief Were at the expense of others was my belief And as I got older and a bit more mature I am learning the reasons for what I have to endure The Lord who saved me came one day And said child get on your knees and pray He said I know your heart feels full of glass But it is my solemn promise this too shall pass And all that has been done to hurt you Has taught you the meaning of virtue Every time you fall or stumble It is me reminding you to be humble You have been through trouble and strife But I do have a plan for your life Be patient with me and you will see What wonders I have in store for thee The pain and the anger you nurse deep inside Let them go and swallow your pride Forgive and Forget the ones who have hurt you somehow They're my enemies too, I'll get them I vow... Always be patient, loving, kind, and giving This is what I wanted when I created the living Never turn anyone away, not brother, stranger, or friend Because it could be me that you do not tend Do all of these things and one day you will see A life filled with peace and harmony It may not be on Earth that you'll be free But you will be in Heaven forever joyfully..
