I wander down this lonely path
Hear the crunch of trampled ground
Amazing sight of nature's gift
Feel my heart, it's frequent pound
I swear I once was innocent
I swear I once was pure
But once I learned about the world
I wanted something more
Evil winds blew me around
Shoving and whispering lies
Pushing me up off my feet
Putting visions in my eyes
Oh, Spirit Winds that 'ever blow
Where are you gentle ones?
The zephyrs that I had asked for
When Evil had their fun
Good Spirit Winds enter my soul
Cleanse me of darkness past
Fill me with the spirit of love
That only you can cast
I'll wander down this lonely path
Hear the crunch of trampled ground
Feel blessed with nature's loving gift-
That I'm alive and safe and sound

Very Good
This reminds me of one of my poems. I wrote the first two verses when I was 9 and I wrote the rest of it when I turned 40 so basically it took me 31 years to write this poem it is called "I Wish"
I wish I were a piece of gold
So shiny and so fine
Treated better than where I used to live
In a dark and muddy mine
I wish I were an eagle
Soaring through the sky
Seeking out my prey
With my A-1 eagle eye
I wish I were a sunbeam
Shining out through space
And coming down and warming
A sweet and gentle face
I wish I were a singer
That I could sing a song
Its words would make you happy
And its wisdom make you strong
I wish you could see clearly
How much we could set right
You know I love you dearly
Let me lead you to the light
I wish you knew my Father
I wish you could be won
You wonder why I bother
So you might know the Son
The Brother
