PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Back when I was younger

I believed everyone had a story to tell

And just up until now

I thought everyone had a dream



Standin here i still don't understand

What its like not to have somethin to hope for

There's a reason to do the best you can

A reason to fight for what you believe



Sometimes when I'm all alone

I look up to the sky and I wonder

But a rough life keeps gettin better

No circumstance but perception of livin



Sometimes I close my eyes and smile

"Lord, thank you for all I have

I don't understand why so many have to cry

But I want to thank you for my life"



There'll always be people goin nowhere

Always gonna be people who are poor

It ain't the money that makes you that way

But what you believe and what you're fightin for



Sometimes I walk along a riverside

And I look down at the fish swimmin free

At night I look up at the moon and stars

And I always know that heaven isn't too far away



Sometimes I close my eyes and I smile

"Lord, thank you for all I have

I don't understand why so many have to cry

But I want to thank you for my life



If I could be something better

Then you know that I would

But Lord, there's only so much I understand

Please help me do better than good



I remember you when the sun shines

And I remember you when I see the rain

Remembering you in the best of times

Callin on you in times of pain



Some people just want something to hold onto

They're searchin for a piece of a dream

I'd like to know its thats too much to ask

Sometimes things you do I wonder what they mean



And sometimes I close my eyes and I smile

'Lord, thank you for all I got

Don't understand why people got to cry

But I want to thank you with my life

Even though sometimes i wonder why

I want to thank you with my life.'"
