Not a formed person(wish to be)

Kids  teach us more
Than any PHD
Not a formed person but I
Wish to be

They teach sheer joy and wonder
And how it should be

Being themselves
Not being afraid

Not a formed person but
Wish to be

Until the ugly world
Comes to their door to take their innocence away
It doesn’t knock it
Kicks it in…and the
Innocence can’t return

Innocence and believing
Is the wonder of life

And it lives when we are
A little naive
And we still believe
In our better being
Our own better being
A truly human
Being

And I’m not a formed person
Ghosts are chasing me
Chasing me down the well
Know the right path..
But…I..go…left…of…me
Go left of me

Might need an intervention…
To save me

Love will lift us and
Come to save the…day
I hope you know I love you
Can’t find the words
When you see me
You’ll know that it’s true
You’ll know…you’ll know…you’ll know
It’s true

It’s true I’m not a formed person
No I’m not a formed person
But I wish to be

Not a formed human
Someday I will be…I will be…I will be
Someday you’ll find me
And I’m truly formed… a fully formed person
It’s who I strive to be
But it escapes me
Won’t let it get away from
Me
