My Own

I found my old poetry notebook (wow) from when I was a kid/teenager and while some of them are quite embarrassing, I thought I would share one of them with you, just for kicks. Hope you enjoy.

Looking at my life
And seeing where I've been,
Remembering what I've done
With my family and friends
My life has been a full one,
Yet there's still an empty place.
I'm not quite sure exactly what
Can fill this empty space.
I think it's to go places
That I've never been before.
That's the only way of knowing
What my dreams have laid in store.
I wast my self to be set free
And fill my soul's desire.
My mind's become inquisitive,
My heart is now on fire.
Only God, my Lord and Friend,
Knows what's in store for me,
And only He - my God - and I
Control my destiny.
Someday I'll do the things I want
And see those places far,
But for now my soul rests here, at home,
Where my friends and family are.
