STRUGGLE

STRUGGLE

This is a problem that I struggle with
In the daytime and all night long
Is it really worth the turmoil to
Find out if I'm right or wrong

I've been told that I share partial blame
And I know this may very well be true
I was taught these principles by my parents
I understood that it was the right thing to do

The bible says to honor your mother and father
They taught me to respect those older than me
Did I do enough by passing on these values
Or to lead by my example for others to see

If over my lifetime I have not succeeded
Please read this poem at my wake instead
If you couldn't laugh with me in my lifetime
Please do not cry for me now that I'm dead
