then a poor man I must always be

If splendor is afforded to those hearts which are free
then a heartless lover I shall be

If paradise is offered to those earning a place on its shores
then my beaches become deserts with no trees

If peace is granted to those minds with no bad thoughts
then thinking will bring me to my knees

If forgiveness is extended to those sincere and warm
then redemption is fleeting rapidly

If forever is a curse to those seeing too many days
then let tomorrow take me

What a title! And the lines that follow .. damn, incredible!

For me .. I believe we are all both!! Deserving and
undeserving .. for many reasons

Stirring write .. both mind and heart. You have me
questioning my own worth, just now..
