Held Accountable

We all are held accountable On the things we do in our life From the deeds we do, and the words we say And from the actions that we leave behind. As our paths they cannot be forgotten Nor the walks or the steps we have taken And the things we done or felt or said They will become the future that we have been making. As a rock that is tossed into the ocean And as it hits upon it’s surface The ripple effect for that rock has began Then later we will see its effect and its purpose. And we too are all held accountable As that is the way that it should be, From the things we done and the words we said As that will become part of our history. We all are held accountable For our endeavors that became our past And should we not also be made to stand up and own All our actions and deeds that formed and shaped our life. We must stand up and accept our past As that is the way that it truly should be So we can't run or even hide away Like life, that is our destiny. As one day we all will be held accountable From the deeds and actions that we have done So we must be prepared to accept them all As like from death, from it we cannot run. So watch the steps that you do take And think closely on the path you do choose As that will be the destiny you chose for yourself And one day it will come back to visit you. Randy L. McClave
