My State Of Mind

 

Wednesday, 27 April 2005

Home
candle in the storm
With no destiny
Self imposed blindness
The rude Kilometre
In the darkness of the night
In the grave of my mind
Always bright
Cold Truth
Second Wife
Drunkards

 

IN THE GRAVE OF THE MIND

One day I took time to look back

To reflect on my past

I started counting my blessings

All the opportunities that came my way

All the help and support I got

The love and care bestowed on me

Reflect on how I walked through thorny roads

And fought for my principles

I really backtracked

To see where I was coming from

But I stopped halfway

When I realised that I was crying

I was angry with myself

For not being grateful

And taking everything for granted

The tears washed away all the strength

I just stood there feeling guilty

But I finally managed to kneel down

Slowly and thoughtfully

I said to my LORD

I am sorry for not being appreciative

Thank you for everything

And teach me to be content.
