Signs


Where do we go from here. If in life we live with fear. We must teach our kids lessons about wrong from right. Show them everyday is a struggle and you must put your hands up everyday and start a new fight. Within our hearts we know the truth. Eye for an eye tooth for a tooth. Turn the other cheek and live by God's rule. But your children don't go to church and they don't teach the Word of God in school. It's okay by me because the responsibility is within you. You must teach your children correctly that their heart and mind are their biggest tools. Signs of times. Speaking in rhymes. Tell a tale. Of how we fail. Happy or sad. Good or bad. The road is long. Even if we know right from wrong. Always remembering days of past.  Always wishing they would last. Eyes wide open but still feel blind. You look in the mirror seeing another face and you feel like your losing your mind. Fork in the road. Left from right. Question authority. Keep the prize in sight. Small but with power. Like the sting of a bee. Within the final hour. That's when you know who your were, are, and will be.
