that love would not last a life time
that this world would be filled with so much crime
that there would be so many mountains that you would have to climb
that life would be so fast, as the clock again chimes
that I would not have someone to call mine
now that I settle into my prime

I did not know

that I would not have sons or daughters
that life could be so easily slaughtered
that there would be so many times in rough waters

I did not know

that I would be as rich as I am
that I would only be I'm
that I would only be where I am
that life would not  be as shiny as a new dime
that there would be so little time

I did not  know

that there would be so many people,  that I once knew
that there would be so many things, that I would not do
that there would be so many things, that I would be new to
that there would be so many things, that I would not be wise to
that there would be so many times ,that I was not true to

I did not know  

that I would be witness to what people go through

I did not know

there would be so many times that I would not be proud
of what I stooped to

I did not know

that death could come so soon
that this I am not immune to
that God loves me no matter what I do
that he will forgive me to

!!
