A Toy On the Shelf

The Devil opened his new toy
                             Placing his old one on a shelf
Never dreaming on that tier
                            That I would find myself
I have shed ten million tears
                            If I have shed a one
They all formed into a river
                           That carried me to the Son
He pulled me from the river
                           A smile upon his face
Said, "I'm glad you are no longer
                           Caught up in the race"
Devils eyes danced with anger
                           For he truly knew
I have always been the type of man
                           Devoted to what I do
What I do is what I must
                           I wear it on my sleeve
For deep up in my heart and soul
                           I truly do believe
That each and everyone of us
                          Humanity as a whole
Has a desire inside of us
                          To find away to grow
As we grow lets let it show
                          Each and everyday
That it is for our neighbors
                          We bow our heads to pray


Written for all my friends who
have been holding my family
and I in prayer.
