but the Innocence is gone forever.
Through time, so much knowledge has been gained.
And yet so many questions still remain.

Will the answers ever unfold
Attitude and thoughts are now conceived so differently.
Where are my real friends, and who are my enemies
Who and what are my real priorities
Will I still lose myself trying help every one else

I think not, the most valuable lesson I have learned,
my soul needs nourishing too.
But which path I take to do so, only I can decide.
The impact may be great, but I shall stay strong.
I now carry myself in a different way.
Some say for good, others say for worse.
But as long as I know and remember my reflections of yesterday,
Then I am the one who will say.

Emotions are so high, and so low, and in between,
I'm for ever running, and chase them all day.
Never really knowing which one I will catch.
At this point and time in my life,

I have certainly been put to the test,
But I can still try to do my very best.
There are still thoughts that I hold on to,
I still have my guardian angel guiding me safely.
And I know that there will always be a rainbow after the storm,
that tomorrow will be a different day, beginning with a new sunrise.
And with each person that has true passion and unconditional love for me,
will remain by my side to help catch me if I should fall or call.

Through all the changes that have taken place,
I know I still have my saving Grace.
I shall be aware, and hopefully better prepared for the years ahead.
They also will bring more change.
Is that not what time is suppose to do?
But I shall survive even if what I was has changed,
I can still reflect back on my wonderful memories.
After all if it were not for those, I could not be the man I am today.
Even though this present will always haunt me,

Now is the time, to say goodbye to the Innocence of my days,
And really concentrate and savour the Innocence of my future.
