I can tell the world what I know,
but most won’t hear what’s inside.
I can show my best laid plans,
but there’s no guaranteed 1st prize.

Within oneself is the dream,
and the key to all doors in life.
How to unveil the illusion asks the question?
The answer is: “Sacrifice”.

Throughout the past lessons were taught,
but many never learned.
Pick and choose not as you wish,
but only take what’s earned.

Those who worry about themselves,
help the consequences churn.
In the heart of the lonely lamb;
which patiently waits it’s turn.

But I’m not the one to publish quotes,
or stand up for our rights.
Unless of course I’m all we have,
then all shall stand aside.

I’ve learned throughout my years,
to remain in stride.
Follow my heart which path is true,
I’ll never be denied.

With this said I stand up straight,
and ask most graciously,
“May I Be Your Friend Until the End,
and Never Will You Leave?”

But if one day you walk away,
and say you no longer believe.
Then I’ll understand, I’m a man,
but, “Only Half Without Thee”.
