life began thus for me
today minus years twenty three
wading through rocks and stone
I stand here, nothing but flesh and bone.

Striving hard, that one purpose to find
To quench that longing thirst of mind
For without it, in lonely despair I wait
To peacefully enter the pearly gates.

Hope and faith, its all what i have
In destiny and in God above
Life in retrospect does seem empty
For a man who had ambitions plenty.

With broken armour I go from here
Not knowing if my end is far or near
This battle lost, but still keeps on going
To reach a target of no knowing
