Is all the pain
That I have felt
Equal to or more
Than the pain I have dealt?
Surely it is less
But who can honestly tell
That we take
More than we give hell?
Its been an amazing life
To be sure
I just pray
There is no more pain to endure.
Luckily
The loneliness is gone
Replaced with a wife
And her teenage fawn
The past is behind me
The future is so bright
How did my life
Suddenly turn out right?
Did I pay
For the sins of old
I swear that I have paid
The sum total of threefold
I guess I shall see
As time goes forever on
If it was enough
For me to have a happy dawn
That will spread
Throughout the noon of my life
And continue through
The afternoon with my wife
So we can
Grow old together
And never worry
About nary a blunder
