I Will Be First

I'm a nice guy And I've always finished last, And if anyone believes that is a lie Well, just take a look at my past. When anyone needed help I was there I always helped all that I could, I did without and for them I said a prayer Just because I knew that I should. If anyone ever needed a dollar I'd give them the last one that I had, And for that deed I wouldn't holler Never would I get mad. I would never mistreat the elderly And never would I give harm to a pet, I treat all honorably And I say that with a smile and with no regret. I treat all women like royalty That is how I was raised, I will give them all of my loyalty To their beauty and wonder I'm always amazed. Many times I have done without So, that someone else would have something, Never out of anger or disappointment would I shout Joy, I always enjoyed to give and bring. If anyone ever needed a ride Of course I would always pick them up, I am never ashamed of anyone at my side And with anyone I would always share a cup. Never would I ever rob or steal And never have I lied or accused, Never would I want or think to kill Helping others I have never refused. Of course many times I have been cheated on And I have also been stolen from, I have been tricked and uncaringly used like a pawn And when I was in love, I was always dumb. A nice guy I will always remain Even when by others I have been treated the worst But, no matter of my hurt or of my pain One day I know, I will be first. Randy L. McClave
