Tribute to a very great man, John Sherman. The man who changed my life. When I was young, and raging wild I knew that I was wrong I had a will, a stubborn will And my temper was so strong I didn’t care about any one I said ‘the world can kiss my ass’ No compassion did I have No respect for any lass. I tried so hard to change myself It never felt quite right I’d read me all those holy books And try to see the light It was one step forward three steps back It never changed a thing And every day more misery To me my life did bring. Then I discovered on the net A man who changed my life He went by the name of John Sherman And he helped me through my strife He told me all you have to do Is take a look within See the fellow that is you Then the changes will begin. This was five short years ago Now all the anger’s gone I’m sweet, I’m wise, I am at peace And as my life moves on My heart is filled with Gaiety Each day is filled with joy And nothing in this big wide world This sweetness can destroy. I know I’ve wrote about this man So many times before But I will spread his name around From now till evermore He made me what I am today And I can’t help but love him He gave me sweetness in my life Where once it was so grim. 13 April 2014 @ 1055hrs.
