Stumble It!
This was my very first attempt at poetry and really, I guess creative writing in general, almost three years ago now. My inspiration was quite obviously the same as it is for this blog so I thought that I would share my crude and humble beginnings. I don't know how much better of a writer I have become but I do enjoy it and will continue to try to keep my new found readers reading. I thank you all for taking the time to visit and read. Thanks to those of you that have visited my "sponsers", and of course, thanks for your comments. They definitely keep the posts fun and interesting :-)
Life, Love and Pain
My player days have long since past
I thank the lord they did not last
Sometimes I miss the fun I had
‘cause no those times were not all bad
I learned some things about my life
I settled down I found a wife
And yet my wife she could not see
The kind of man I longed to be
I gave my all let down my guard
And evil grew in my backyard
I had to do what I knew right
Forget my fears and fight the fight
I had to right the wrongs she’d done
For I was not the only one
Our world became a total mess
My children’s lives were filled with stress
So when you judge me know this well
That I would face the hounds of hell
I will protect the ones I love
Yes I will push and I will shove
I’ll face the beast with shoulders back
Be poised and ready for attack
Yes I could be your truest friend
For with my life I will defend
That what I know to be the truth
I have been learning since my youth
To be a man who all respect
To live a life that won’t be wrecked
I put my faith in God above
And know that I can still feel love
