The Life
After a night of good, sweet dreams
I woke up to see the sunlight beams
Running down the stairs of my big mansion
I went out the door to feed my Dalmatian
I chose a long dress from my huge wardrobe
I hang a gold earring on my dangly earlobe
Going out the door to my latest car
I set of to work looking like a star
Then,
A man came towards my car window
Begging in his knee placed down low
Miserly and full of pride
I could not give away a penny or a dime
I drove past the man to run from my fear
My fear of giving something I called dear
I got back home from a long day’s work
Tired from dealing with a stubborn clerk
But then,
My eyes could not shut to rest a bit
On a smooth big mattress and cotton quilt
Then I thought to myself soaked in guilt
I could have been there, in place of the man
Had I not been welcome in my guardian’s caravan
My dreams were replaced with mere nightmares
Dark, wet forests and angry bears
Finally,
I promised myself to have a kind heart
To have sympathy for God’s piece of art
I went back to the place I had seen the man
To bring him relief from the heat of the sun
To ask him to forgive me if he really can
Gaining his mercy honest and sincere
I vowed to be a lifetime volunteer.
