Take that to the Bank

For so troubled is he,

But his soul is free.

With Faith and a smile

He comes smooth with style.

Even though stuck behind bars,

Still has hope to see the stars.

Now I’m clean and free to see,

Dope and alcohol are no way to be.

My heart and mind are enchanted,

Now that your hope has been implanted.

No more nights full of worrywart,

When I get out I can tell my story.

My future now set in stone,

With you by my side I’m never alone.

You are the person I’ll forever thank,

No, lies, no fake

Take that to the bank!
