What I brought with me

I decided to put the woes of the world aside and think about my everlasting contribution. And if each one fails I still contributed more than some. Because with every breath of air is HOPE. Hope each day an addict, a thief, a bratty kid has to change. Hope that each person that wakes up after each sleep will see and embrace their true potential and purpose. Hope. I brought a lot of it and more will come from that which I brought!

What I brought with me...

I brought one in who still holds her looks,

I think she lost more than she took.

Another I brought with eyes of blue,

I wonder though if his pride will calm, 

so he can get what he is due.

Another I brought just like before,

He's quiet and shy but smart as could be,

He could cure a cause if he wanted too,

If only he could believe and see.

Trice now I brought another just like the others,

but a special breed of energy he does possess,

and he only need gain control and direct it for success.

The next I brought who surprised us all,

God caught him up, that was his call.

I will meet him one glorious day,

so there's not much else to say.

I brought yet another like the first,

thick hair and as smart as others too,

Attractive is she but less energy used,

If only a purpose worth reaching for,

She could find and desire to open that door.

Another I brought whose smile does shine,

Ambition and life she does not lack,

But I fear her trust could set her back.

The last I brought I do not know,

For his destiny was to fulfill and show,

another family love, so I let him go.

There are eight altogether, complete at this time,

I've passed on what I could, regrets are many,

I'll watch them bring in some more to shine,

and watch them raise them while I smirk to myself.

They won't see the personalities, the way I can see from here.

They are unaware they are raising themselves,

and now they can feel the fear, 

of loving such rebellion they will always hold dear.

Merry Christmas
