Everyone Has One

 

Everyone has a story to say

Everyone carries a burden with flare

Not everyone has the courage to share

Some wear their heart on their sleeve

Engaging those, who with them, will grieve

Others will cower and rather just hide

Ashamed to tell how they feel inside.

All characteristics will darken our door

Well-versed and rich, or tattered and poor.

Everyone has a tale to convey

Everyone faces a time in their life

All they can see is despair and strife

Some fight the fight with all that they’ve got

Others back down without giving it a thought

All physiognomies appear on our path

Showered in cologne, or in need of a bath

Everyone has a story to hide

Some keep the skeleton in seclusion

And worry about facing aspersion

Do you have a secret you wish to convey?

You can reveal all without dismay

Get on your knees and simply confess

No need to worry about trying to impress

Everyone needs a friend on their side

Some will ignore the free gift He gave

Some will stay chained to their sin as a slave

Jesus gave all when He died on that cross

Even to those who live in full chaos

Get on your knees and ask for compassion

Forgiveness is free with a simple confession

Everyone has a story to say

Everyone has a tale to convey

Everyone has a story to hide

Everyone needs a friend on their side
