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