EXCUSES
The Future
Lies before you
Like a field of driven snow
Be careful how you tread it
For every step will show
I can excuse your behavior
I am wiser and older than you
My heart is in the right place
And my soul is balanced and true
I can excuse your behavior
You think I cannot see
Karma is an old ally
And will give back what you take from me
I can excuse your behavior
It isn’t a competition at all
What I know from my life-time
Is pride always cometh before the fall
I can excuse your behavior
Others will too
In case you don’t know
God is the judge
Not us
I will not break
I will bend
I can excuse your behavior
And to think we could have been friends
Your heart was destroyed
Before I met you
Forgiveness you tout like
A drug
I wonder when life comes back at you
If you will be able to climb
Out of the hole you dug
You never know whom you
Might need
You have worked hard
And planted terrible seeds
I can excuse your behavior
What I know for sure
You won’t answer to me…
