With a smile I could hide my sorrows
And with the acts of kindness
I could hope to repent for my countless sins
But even with these gestures
Persistence was only given
To those that could endure an endless road
For vanity screams in the society of our world
And I linger in this fruitless garden
So that I could bring joy to those that suffer
Still at times even I will give way to temptations
Because the flesh is weak
And the heart can be a bit naive
However know
That one day before the time of my death
I will leave civilization, Never to return
While by that time
I will give the ones that I love the riches of man
Yet I hope they will cherish more
The peace that I will show and love that I had given unto them.
