As soon as I was born and now I am retired
Sweet memories I fondly find from when I was a child
I had only hoped to see a land
Were I didn’t fear my fellow man
Were men of only child mind could see its special shores
Were we forgot the wanting more
And sitting on a throne of thorns
So piercing to a gentle heart
That only cursed the sudden start

So weeping mothers stop their crying
To witness scores of child play for their children are not needed for their dying
We all would wander aimlessly along a path so sweetly made with care
And I with all my friends would go to find a home
Worth finding to be free, it may not ever be
But it’s surly worth the searching for

And much like all the civil nations
The clouds are always changin’
Till they’re burned or rained away
And with such heavy rains
New clouds are made again
But sadly this is so that no cloud has far to be going
And the only hope it has is if its flowing takes it far
And that the newer clouds will make a steady rain
A rain that you’ll remember till the ending of your days
For it was pouring soft and slowly

Many say the storms are harsh indeed
Yet never see its power
An ever-changing world and many see it sour
I only see it plane as every single hour
And yet the blooming of a flower changes everything
I see and as new it comes to me
A world that's worth  living
Were all sins will be forgiven
And all men are searching hard for what’s worth searching for

AMEN!!!!

This was so full of greatness, wise words, incredible imagry and mind changing emotion, sort of like driving down the highway, wondering about going left or right, but then, slowing down, pulling over and looking at what is right in front of you...
