Casting The Stone

Casting The Stone

by Bud Lemire on Apr 8, 2003

I cast a stone, into the lake

To see what path, my life would take

It went in, with a splash and sunk

And I looked around, and saw a drunk

I knew his life, was not for me

Long ago, I set that choice free

I saw where, that path would lead

And knew it was, something I didn't need

It made me think, of all the people on drugs

And happy my life was, filled with hugs

I'm glad I didn't, take that path too

I was happy, with all that I knew

I thought of those, with illness and disease

How difficult it must be, while I have ease

Even though my life, was no piece of cake

I had no added problems, within my ache

I thought of those, who had more than I

And wondered at all, the things I could buy

I knew that money, wouldn't give me everything

So I searched within, to what love could bring

I found love shared, is the greatest gift

With a caring soul, that's used to uplift

To help those on a path, confused and alone

So that they'd find meaning, in Casting The Stone
