HUMBLED

Come take my hand he said with a sigh I was startled at first by the depth of his eyes His voice was like honey, a rich amber tone Words oozed from his mouth hit my heart like a stone What have you to show for the blessings bestowed Did you think there was no price to pay Did you think you could stay on top of the game Without ever having to play How many times did you give to the poor Or food to the hungry did feed Have you held a sick child that wasn't your own Or give shelter to someone in need When did you last step out of yourself And into anothers' worn shoes Or offer a prayer to a bent broken soul Whose tragedies never made news Did you ever gain pleasure from some others pain Or purposly hurt, then never explain I'm sorry you thought you could skate through the door But school is still in, you must learn so much more So I turned in shame from the peaceful white light Through the tunnel of darkness I ran The Angel of Death on the edge of my mind A white feather of hope in my hand
