Excuse me people

Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)

Rhymed
Excuse me
For not taking credit
For what's not mines to take
It belongs to God
That's not no mistake
The seasons split even
Though they cannot skake
Though life has it's twists and turns
So there's no reason you cannot learn
The differences between wrong and right
The turnings of your sleepless nights.
Shouldn't take you on an endless flight
Of losses that never
Came out right
