Almost Out of Time
Before I leave this place behind
I want to show the world what I did with my time
I lived for the experience and wrote all about it
Poems – diaries – books – and love ballads
If the world loves me least, then the sky loves me best
Because I’ll be going home with an S on my chest
S as in successful – spiritual - solid - strong
Satisfied that where I’m headed – I belong
A brave heart I am, a strong spirit I be
Nothing but the good life is what’s left for me
Forewarned of what’s to come in my next life journey
So, don’t cry for me, nor beg for my mercy
I dance in truth as I sing in deliverance
Life - a forever portrait etched in remembrance
Of all that I’ve done and the hearts that I’ve touched
While appalled with the existence of the corrupt & unjust
Worked for the dream of others, until I got bullied out of employment
Which sent me up a stream to a life of peace & enjoyment
Educating - elevating - gravitating to the light
Speaking truth to the youth – balancing wrongs with what’s right
Gone too soon - this gorgeous life learned butterfly
But not soon enough – I got my wings – now I can fly.
