brighter days

And so it was,

he now understood,

his life would change 

from bad to good.

but special thought

and intensive care

were things he needed

to take him there.

no more excuses,

the time had come

for this boy from nowhere

to get him some.

the boy was now a man

and so, you understand,

he needed to take a stand

to begin his life

as now, a man.

the days of his excessive ways

were now reserved for certain days.

he'd still have fun,

he'd still be crazy,

but now he'd have those times

when he wasn't hazy.

his life would be,

his life could be,

his dream come true,

for eternity.

because his lessons now were learned,

his past, his past,

now overturned.

he'd hone his mind

he'd perfect his craft,

he'd make amends

he'd make them fast.

for time was running out for him,

he'd no longer rely on just a whim,

for now he saw

even through the haze,

a chance to live

in brighter days
