This is the Why
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     I know things coulda gone down different
     But this is how it went
     And that was how it was supposed to be.

     Revelation.

     There was a lesson in all this.
     It took a while but it found its way to me.
     Now, everything's making sense.

     Lifting my head back up.

     I caught myself wondering
     If this is what I crossed over for.

     Of course I knew better.

     Naw, this isn't the exact reason
     But the betterment has still come.

     Now I know what to do.

     You showed me but I still didn't completly understand.
     One of your angels broke it down for me and
     Even though she stuggles to tell a story...

     I'm getting it now.

     So for reals,
     Lemme thank You
     For all you've shown and done for me.

     I owe you big time.

     I'mma do my best even though I'm still weak.
     I'mma get up after ev'y time I fall.
     I'mma do this and I'mma do it...

     All for You.
