A Long Winding Road Poem by Lee John Siebritz

Since I was born I knew that I had something special
All that needed was direction and skill
It took a long time to get where I am

I went through the harships that made me a man.
All the friends that I had
Left me when I was down
To be devoured by the ground

But I made it and i showed them that I am
Better
This situation has made me stronger than ever

All the madness that went on in my house
Left emotional scars that I could not easily overcome

But I thank the Lord
For the strength, guidance and help
That has shaped me.

And now I know that with my talent I will go far
I know where I came from and I know where I am headed

I am gonna show everyone who downed me
And left me in the gutter.
I'll make a success out of myself
I will glitter under the limelight by the stars
Being watched by the Lord and then Angels above.
