I was so very alive..... <br />my days were overflowing <br />with goodness and joy <br />my heart was happy and I rejoiced <br />in the warmth of abundant sunshine <br />red blood raced through my wide open veins <br />I was unstoppable.... <br />but as I grew older and supposedly wiser <br />I became filled with the sickness of greed <br />I self destructed trying to regain my youth <br />My prayers had been answered <br />yet I betrayed my promises to God <br />as he had granted me all.... <br />alas....life must come to an end <br />in order to be everlasting <br />I need not contradict any longer <br />that which God already knows <br />I only need to confess to it as such <br /> <br />Amen..... <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-all-comes-down-to-this/
