The Me's in Me

The Me's in Me

Could have been one percenter 

With a formidable  patch

Could have been a Saint

Giving the Gospel my last

Could have done business 

Selling diesel cars or gas

Could have been a professor 

Teaching a class

The choices we make 

Determine the path we take

Walking in riches or 

Burned at the stake

The generation we live

Determined by God above

Whatever the vocation 

It can be walked in Love

What you do 

Isn't all of you

The way you do it

Doesn't tell the whole story either

We are all passing through

This human theater 

Attention to intention 

Satisfies modern convention 

But life is more than 

Acts of the heart

It is often keeping a vow

Instead of making a new start

Thinking one generation at a time

Is a luxury purchased by 

Grandparents and parents

In the past

Living for others

They prayed 

Peace would last

Living vicariously 

From the opportunities 

Of our progeny

Is not a cop out or a sin

It is fruit from the place

Where our faith did begin

Could have been 

Many things in this life of mine

The value of my life

Will be determined 

At the end of time

Capenter

Lawyer 

Janitor with a mop

All will be judged

When the final 

Mic drops
