Climbing On...
(Apropos A Family Affair)
Though it took time to find out
I now know that without a doubt,
You really don’t need me as I had hoped;
You strung me out smoother than any dope.
Yes, I’m hurt and depressed;
But will get over it like all the rest.
Indeed I accept that God knows what’s best.
Yes, you played me and did it well;
I bought your game—
Only myself to blame;
Yet on the pain, I shall no longer dwell
Nor wallow in pitiful shame.
Yes, life has been a rough and rugged stairway;
Yet, like Jacob, I continue to climb each and every day.
