\n<\/a>if everyman<\/a>…<\/p>\n

if i am in a land knowing nobody, i can be somebody
\nintoxicated with toddy and become bawdy lordy<\/p>\n

if i had the means bursting at the seams, i’d do wonders it seems
\nbut all that glitters and gleams gets blown to smithereens<\/p>\n

if i had that cushy job, i wouldn’t have to mop and sob
\nhmm, i’d likely end up a slob, a snob or a glob<\/p>\n

if i had more, i’d soar and won’t be sore
\nif i had that talent, i won’t be such a bore, my ego would roar<\/p>\n

if i could erase my pain and shame, i’d gain in life game
\nif i had everything i wish, any excuse is lame, no cause to blame
\ninstead temptations to tame, irk to flame and maim<\/p>\n

if only i do away the crutches, i’d rid of my grudges
\nif i can get away with my fudges, can i live better with them smudges?<\/p>\n

for romans 3:23<\/a> say all have fallen short of glory
\nbut we can choose a better life story
\nor choose doomed gory
\nno matter how sorry
\nnarrow is the way to divine storey
\nso choose right lorry
\nto transport back to Glory<\/p>\n

ahh…but don’t be bitter
\ndon’t quit..finish the job, God can’t use a quitter
\nphilippians 1:6<\/a> promises life sweeter
\ncos’ our Creator
\n“..who began a good work in you,
\nwill bring it to completion..” till He’s due<\/p>\n

so boldly usher in the new year, keep the ball moving
\nfulfill your divine purpose, keep on trucking<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

meanwhile, if only i could be understood
\ni would not need to brood
\nthe intensity of my humble intent and star
\ncan only reach so far<\/p>\n

a miff with if
\nonly brings grief
\ntransform conditional tiff
\nto unconditional in a jiff
\nthat’s my resolution beef…<\/p>\n

\"fiddler_poster_image312195333\" ” if i were a rich man,
\nya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
\nall day long i’d biddy biddy bum.<\/p>\n

Lord who made the lion and the lamb,
\nYou decreed i should be what i am.
\nwould it spoil some vast eternal plan?
\nif i were a wealthy man.”<\/p>\n
