Website
July 08, 2007 |
I’ve touched upon ten thousand lives
Who’ve touched upon my own
And since you were a part of me
I’ve never been alone
Friends from childhood who shared
The gift of innocence
And those who fought a war with me
Where there is no pretense
Students, teachers, everyone
Who led me to the source
Of intellect and knowledge pure
That helped to chart my course
I’ve always been inquisitive
And answers I’ve received
At times I’ve been too skeptical
For I had been deceived
Yet still I cherish everyone
Who counseled and consoled
They brought to me humanity
Which can’t be bought or sold
I am because of everyone
The spirit and his guest
It seems to me remarkable
That I have passed life’s test
But most of all I’ve learned of love
Forgiveness and respect
To tell each heart who’s touched my own
That them I’ll not neglect
For every single night I know
These feeling I renew
And share them with the Lord above
As prayers are passing through
So always know within your heart
You’re often on my mind
Much better I because of you
As happiness I find
