i am at my journeys end <br />looking back at my life, family, friends. <br /> <br /> all my life i tried to be, smiling, happy, and carefree. <br />but! at times life throws you a curve ball <br /> just to see if you have the gall. <br /> <br />to turn your life completly around <br />and to see if you have found. <br /> all the beauties that GOD has given to us. <br />if in him we put our trust. <br /> <br />the curve ball is not to strike you out <br />but to see if you'll fight that bout. <br /> <br /> the fight is not physical <br />but a raging war within you <br />so that you may see, right from wrong <br />and to grow big and strong. <br /> <br />this is the life that i am seeing <br />and this is the life that i'm not believing. <br />so many times i had the chance to <br />pick up the slack. <br />but i refused, and turned my back. <br /> <br />what must it take for us to see <br />the love from our family. <br />in life we all need a helping hand <br />let's just stop and take a stand. <br /> we can not do everything in life alone <br />that is something that is shown. <br /> <br />even CHRIST needed help <br />so to the apostles, the cards he dealt. <br />he showed the apostles that if their belief is great. <br />the words they teach, is not too late. <br /> <br />like everyone else, i see the journeys end <br />but! through my poetry- i found my friends. <br /> we do not have to do special deeds <br /> ' just help someone that's in need'. <br /> <br />this is what GOD wants us to learn <br />it is time we take our turn. <br /> let us keep the children in sight <br />when we pick up our pens-' and start to write'. <br /> <br />if we could save just one child through our words <br />then we'll know that we've been heard. <br /> ' poetry is the key' <br />to set a childs mind free.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/journeys-end-for-the-poet/
