Born in sickness, stiff as steel
My mother did not heed
She said she could have left me lone
But nurture was her creed
At ten years old no jobs abound
My father was a brood
He swallowed pride, made ends meet
Sometimes he worked for food
At sixteen years I worked real hard
Mom was ill and dying
I did the best I could for her
She laid in bed just crying
At twenty two she passed away
And thats when it began
I heard a voice from time to time
It sounded like a man
At twenty eight the car broke down
As furious as can be
I cried and cried and then I heard
A voice call out to me
At thirty four the baby sick
And bills of every score
Upset my wife by screaming then
The voice did call once more
At thirty nine I lost my job
I felt it was my end
My wife decided she would work
And the voice I heard again
At forty five a burglar came
The funeral made me cry
Left alone to raise my son
I heard the voice nearby
At fifty one my boy moved out
I thought I was alone
I'd wander off and lose my way
The voice would lead me home
At fifty seven a grandchild came
I felt just like a king
Then the house burned to the ground
Again the voice did ring
At sixty three I left this world
To me an angel came
I met the man behind the voice
And Jesus was his name

That was absolutly beautiful and son JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH US

Son? I'm 24 and you're what 30? ;)

Spovek, that was meant as a term of affection. Also, the poem was fantastic.

That was a great read.

Nice

I know Shiki. I only pointing out that even though she's 31 she still looks 30 ;)

I know you mean well, but this is not a compliment. Edit your comment so that it reads:

I know Shiki. I only pointing out that even though she's 31 she still looks 20 ;)

[change 30 to 20]

Also, as a rule of thumb, there are three rules about what NOT to mention about a woman:

1. Her age
2. Her weight
3. See rules 1 and 2.

All this confusion. Maybe thats why i'm gay lol
