Louis would have known everyone on the train,
but he was hurt so he asked no one their name.
He would have won first place in the race,
but decided he wouldn’t inscribe,
but spend the time inside,
who cares if he didn’t try?
but spend the time inside,
who cares if he didn’t try?
She died, the older lady was his neighbor
but he didn’t know anyone ever lived there
she was rich and had no heir
but he never took the time to care.
He had so many talents but his thoughts were so absent,
never wondered what would happen
with a mind that just stayed so stagnant.
Fragments of life held together with a heartbeat
didn’t like to speak, always felt so weak,
never looked at someone’s eyes while walking down the street
for he let self-pity drown him never saw the joy around him
his wounds only bound him until his hope found him.
It started to rain as he got on the train,
there was an older man who was lame.
He had no legs but smiled just the same,
looking up from his shame he said,
“Young man, what is your name?”.
Louis said, “Thank you,
you just did what I could never do,
you just did what I could never do,
I thought my mind I just might lose.
For I was hurt I carried much pain, for in another life,
I would know everyone on the train but for the past fifteen years,
I asked no one their name”
As he looked into everyone's eyes there in the train,
they were begging for someone
just to ask their name.
they were begging for someone
just to ask their name.
Luke.6:32ff
Everyone has a story, change yours...ask theirs
for you'll never have, "..Another Life"
for you'll never have, "..Another Life"
