I have Lived and Loved
I have known sin
Like the back of my hands
And cherished it as sin
But all was for nothing
I have sacrificed family
For a thought of comfortable life
For money and to be rich and famous
For sin and to be loved by the world
But all was for nothing
I have worked hard in life
To create money and wealth
To have social status I wished for
To earn respect, it wasn’t enough
But all was for nothing
An empty soul I have lived
Weighed down by sin I have lived
Search for hope in money and wealth
Search for good life as I see it on television
But all was for nothing
What is time? Now I think
I have lost my family
I have lost my love
Lost all that meant life to me
Now I have nothing
All through this life
I have been sustained
For what purpose I wonder
To have a filled soul and a happy self
That I may not be nothing
In the end of my days and time
One thing have I known
One constant presence have I neglected
A love that has protected me
That I may not be nothing
Yes in the end of my days
I’m not the most wise
No I’m not the happiest
No I’m not the top achiever
That I may not be nothing
But I have seen life with experience
Enough to know that God comes first
That Family is next and most important
Family will do what riches can’t do
That I may not be nothing
Love from family can’t be bought
They will hold when your’re unsteady
You will depend on them when there is no one
It will give you satisfaction to know
They will be good when your’re gone.

Take heart bro,, prayer and having faith though small can lead us out of such feeling. Never loose hope,, appreciate the fact that you can breath, walk, see, hear, talk…

I have had sleepless nights
I have talked to myself as I walked the city streets
I have locked myself in my room days on end
Trying to find the meaning of my life
That I may not be nothing

Sounds like Ecclesiastes where all is vanity, and the conclusion of the matter is to honour GOD and obey His commands. GOD bless
