All of life

*Wisdom a lost treasure of the past Smartness the new trickery of the present Leaving the future so blind and unknown Men meet and plan Devising ways to end each other Competition running in their veins To have all and share none I prayed to the Father above That He grants me wisdom To seek a path truly righteous And follow not the viscous shortcuts I longed for fulfillment In this one life that I have That before I lay underground It should have been a worthwhile And yet the candle burns dim In these cold and dark nights I tremble and feel weary My mind empty of understanding My soul screams lost If only I had prayed last night Renewing myself with a new candle, That my heart would joyfully beep But yesterday turned to a new page already Hoping to make the best of today And waiting for my Father to guide my feet...*
