Day 110

I used to dream of mansions and fast cars,
Make my wishes on any bright stars.
I would pray to a God I didn't know, for a life full of riches,
Where I was important, full of glamour and glitzes.

I loved things bringing no value to my soul,
Letting jealousy begin to take it's toll.
Living a life without patience, thinking only of me,
It was all so wrong, but my young eyes didn't see.

I'm not sure when my mind changed its thinking,
What caused me to reverse the ship sinking.
Maybe being out on my own, seeing the life of others,
Away from the hate and disregard which I was smothered.

I've become a loving and accepting man,
One who cares, thinking of those with less than.
I can stand the thought of sitting on top of a pile of stuff,
I now know how to recognize when enough is enough.

You met this new, better man and I am glad,
The other me may have looked happy, but inside, sad.
I can now stand tall, be proud of the words I use and things I do,
Give all my heart and soul to the one who deserves. You!

Now I dream of days filled with your happiness and our kids,
I wish only on the shooting stars I see under your eyelids.
I pray to God, knowing he will always be there for us,
Throughout this long life we will fill with what matters, love and trust.
