Compassion Enables Me!

Today is a new day. I must live in the now and concern myself with tomorrow at the same time. Because what I do today will affect the way I live tomorrow.

In life

I strive to be a man

enabled with strength

endured with power

bridling life

loving my wife

broken, bent, and twisted I feel

longing for another day

looking, wanting, peace within

not knowing what or how to say

knowing that I now can heal

melting the hardness away

winds of change have come

the force is strong and violent

yearning to be more than one

I look deep within and cannot be silent

SO COME ALL YE WINDS AND RAIN

LET NOT MY HEART BE STRAINED

I WILL FIGHT AGAINST ALL THAT COMES

YOU WILL NOT SEE ONE WHO RUNS

BOLDNESS AND TRUTH ARE MY PAIN

I AM NOT A SEEKER OF FAME

BUT IF I COME FAMOUS DUE TO YOU

Then suceedeth I have

Through and through.

Measure me now gates of hell

I will not be as one who fell

If I stumble or fumble or slip

To the throne of humbleness I will grip
