Poem Commentary

A poem that indicates being accepted as a man in the eyes of God before I lead my family in my direction.

Before I lead



I know that I was given a wife, life and purpose
but show me which direction to go
Before I lead
Before I lead
make sure that I am like you, father
before I take
my high place
Make sure that I am spiritually in control
 and understand
everything around me
and the way how you made me
Make sure that my spiritual foundation
is in place
before I enter the world
for I know I will not understand the things and people around me
if my foundation is not in place
Make sure that I know how to take care of myself
Of the temple
that is my body
to continue to build it up, keep up with the maintenance and always have it operating at a high level
And most of all
Keep it holy and pure
Before I lead
Father, help me to understand my past and how my past is all related to my purpose
 and future
Before I lead
Father, help me to understand your teachings and always put you
 first
Before I lead
My family...
allow me to understand myself completely
 so that I maybe able to understand my wife and future kids
Before I lead
Let me past your inspection
Let my heart body and soul be as one
Let my teachings that
 I pass on
to my family
 be the ones that you have instilled in me
to pass on
to them
Let my spirit live in all of them
Before I lead

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
