Re: while getting my hair done....
In my tears I am free to drown
My dignity, character and principle are all I own,
Please Lord forgive my sin,
What a disobedient boy I have been,
To those I have wronged, forgive me,
To those I loved remember me.
Yesterday prepared me for today,
Ready I am, yet I pray,
I do not fall or falter,
Or my ambition does not alter.
Let the battle inside me,
Not take precedence over the one around me,
I will strike my opponents down,
The strength from you, the sword my own,
My death will not be a loss,
Except to those attached to material gloss,
Peace, forgiveness, love, and happiness I trace,
Once I find my resting place.
These are not tears,
But droplets of memories of previous years,
What could have been, would have been,
Rest assured, I am what I should have been.
In my tears I am free to drown,
My dignity, character and principle are all I own.
