How Big Is His Heart
There is a simple fact in life that I understand
The size of the heart is the worth of the man
I once was a man who had a little bit of wealth
Though I was very worthless up inside of myself
Thought I was smarter than the average guys
It was just another spoonful of the devil’s lies
Sacks of dope that were the size of a small suitcase
With an endless amount of money that I could waste
But to just stay happy it took every bit of it all
Soon as I got back home another girl would call
To big a whore to ever be strong enough to say no
Let me get the shower hot, do a shot, and then we can go
I had all the happiness and dope that money could buy
I could never think about stopping because of the high
I had to keep running I could never even try to slow
Because I had a shattered heart and a very barren soul
“You got it right”, and then one day I met my wife
The everlasting, never ending, true love of my life
We didn’t slow right away she just stayed at my side
Only person I ever met that could go stride for stride
But like all things in life it suddenly came to an end
I completely confessed to the burdens of all of our sins
The Police let everyone go free and I was back in the pen
I guess once again I found I cared a little too much to win
My lessons and changes in this life have been so very vast
Letting one dream completely go made another one last
The lesson in is this poem from the first word to the last
If you want to love the future make the best use of the past
The hardest thing I ever learned, really gave me my start
Way to Judge the true size of a man, “How big is his heart”

Even though this poem was written in regards to my
wife and I, my wish is to dedicate it to all the fellers
on the site that have hearts of gold as well as those
ladies who have husbands or boyfriends with hearts of
Gold. In fact even though it is written from a mans
perspective I reckon it would also apply to the Ladies
who also have pure beautiful hearts. Took me a lifetime
to learn this I took great pride in being mean and cruel
until the day The Lord set me free and opened up my
heart. We all choose our own path and making the most
of it is all we can do. If one of you decides to stay off
the road I was on, Each of our paths will brighten cause
the Lord never fails though he does test which of course
makes us that much stronger. God Bless, MJ
