Heaven's No Place For a Bum Like Me

Looking around good people I see How did they end up with someone like me? My heart is divided both far and near Should I move on or stay right here? And if I should leave what about after? Will life be about tears or laughter? My neighbors bargained for better than I I've let them down and they wonder why A misfit am I and always have been The odd man out in a vessel of sin Some things never change Some seeds never grow Some eyes never see and some minds never know And what is the lesson? Just what is the plan? What is the destination of man? Well, I cannot say where you'll all be but Heaven's no place for a bum like me © Mike Wise 10/4/18

I agree. I'm in one of those "valley" times of life. Have a lot going on, maybe thinking of relocating again, the usual.

Thanks Chris, Halley & Frank. Just a down season of life for me. It will improve, just as it always has before.

Wow, so original, I think I picked up suicidal thoughts, I hope not. I know what that is like! Very unique, so impressive
