Return

The moon will glow, just as the sun will burn

and as for your child, he will return...

I'm crying as I'm trying to get away from yesterday

I'm reaching for your hand so you can show me the way

Pull me up, Lord, far ahead of my past

Hear the agonizing cries of a lonely outcast

Two sides of life, each one a lesson learned

and as for your child, I have returned...

I tried the dark side and didn't like what I found

360 degrees, you've turned me completely around

back to when I was young, before life turned so wild

Hear the ever-grateful praise of a long-lost child

Bones in a coffin, empty ashes in an urn

As my final breath is death, your child will truly return...

Up, up and away I say, never coming back

Rising to the light as my body fades to black

Wrap your arms around me, Lord, I'm coming home as designed

and the mercy you've shown to me please give to the one's I leave behind

You've got my full attention.
Keep em' coming...waking up a bit.

A sobering reality. We have so short a time in this life to get it together and spread the Word. Thank God, He's in control. Great lines:

Brotha' this is beyond the bounds of poetry...it's know-etry insights that can only come from experiences and you share them selflessly.
God Bless.
