My Journey
Born to a world of strife
This is the story of my life
Turbulent waters I was born
Father left and forever shorn
Mother with two young boys
Pain all her heart employs
A man makes her whole again
Together family they then begin
Time spent on Grandparents farm
Where I’m taught to do no harm
A change occurred early on
Pushed and pulled like a pawn
In my teens I was more confused
Confidence and ego surely bruised
Dad filled with work frustration
Anger caused our degradation
Life is surely now a fight
Turned to God for his light
Found a girl to hold dear
Pushed away by her fear
Lost and alone I was dropped
Hopes and dreams now popped
Only in friendship I was found
Like brothers we were bound
Confidence and joy first time gained
A woman, my wife preordained
Our hearts began to mesh and weave
A family we together would achieve
What I was, still hidden from all
The things I feel behind my wall
Something I wrapped and tucked away
The words were too hard for me to say
Something inside me felt alone
The thing I did not want shown
Out of nowhere it was pushed out
Made clear to all there was no doubt
Guided my whole life from above
No more subtle hints just a shove
Shown the things that I had endured
Told for a reason, the voice assured
Given direction where once I was lost
More than willing to accept the cost
Rewards of Joy and Love in return
My light is for all to see it burn
