Array ( [sid] => 125722 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => When I get to where I'm going [time] => 2006-09-14 01:20:51 [hometext] => [bodytext] =>

When I meet our maker at the pearly gates…
Will he greet me in kind or make me wait…

I’ve lived a life that’s full and my past has not been quiet…
And because of the things I’ve done, I haven’t tried to hide it…

My journeys and my age has given me great wisdom…
As though my thoughts have let this moment come…

I hope my darlin has seen and knows
Maybe I didn’t hold you always. It’s you that I chose…

If I didn’t do well by my children…
In my heart you’ve always been…

I have tried to live a fine existence…
I took life’s stress with much patience…

I hope I will be accepted home…
And forgiven for the lands I've roamed…

This world has been rough…
Most things I have faced have been tough…

I’ve been a man of means…
And when my life convenes…

I hope I can get to where I am going…
And be forgiven for the seed I’m sowing…

I am not sorry for the things I have done…
And can’t look back from where I've run…

But I am sorry for those that I have hurt…
And hope this brings you some comfort…

To know I never meant to hurt you…
