Mr. Wiesman
Mr. Wiesman is a fictional character; an older gentleman from Louisiana. He prefers to listen much more than talk, but from our conversations comes this little piece here.
There was a man, Mr. Wiseman, and he told me
That time is money, and we don't have much, so there's none to waste
Like there's never enough, so we make haste
He was always runnin', like he was being chased
I tried to tell him, that he can wait till tomorrow
He said that's no guarantee
He said there's no time to borrow, so he's livin' like there's no tomorrow
He said God is watchin', and death is waitin' and that's a guarantee
Told me there's no dodgin' stress, and trouble is waitin', but God is my key
To guide me, a light from above I can trust
Told me to stay in the right, live in love, and not in lust
He said there'll be risks you take and results you hate
When it's too late, time won't erase the mistakes
But that's okay, because that's how we grow
Said I gotta know when I gotta let go, so I can grow
God knows all, I know that He knows,
So I sit in the back of the boat and let Him row
Thank you Mr. Wiseman, for tellin' me, a piece of your story, to help me grow

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
