Lament of Living in Paradise
I open the door
To a bedroom galore.
Full of toys, candy, and much much more
But woeful me! I surely should own a store.
I walk over to my treasure box
And open to peek at it’s hidden lore.
It’s filled with wealth stacked upon one another like building blocks
Yet all I could think about is having more.
Believe it or not, my parents are poor,
They gave me all they had and then a little more.
Now I have all they own, yet I wanted more.
I would like their forgiveness now, I implore.
Yet I fear I have went too far, I deplore,
And when I’m finally done this may be my only stock and store,
But now I know what I really had, and finally don’t want anymore.
Now I want to give back, to put out the final embers of my spoiled core.
I give my family all that I have now,
In return for what they once gave me.
They gave me their love and much much more, and I shall repay the favor Forevermore. Forevermore
