They've told me to be myself For as long as I can remember But as I watch the fireplace blaze As I contemplate the ember It was-what it was-a feeling And it is what it is--revealing That at any moment At any time As the clock ticks As the hours chime Nothing really changes EXCEPT-- the time thats left To do that for which you're suited And to do your best An ember is an ember But only in its name It started life as wood or coal It will still be the same Until It turns into dust The FINAL stage of life And it will as everything will Do what it must To fulfill its destiny With all its many changes Dealing with how life rearranged EVERYTHING and EVERYONE Every second of every day THAT my friend.... ....is how you be .....yourself... ... In every BLESSED WAY!
