As It Was Written

As it was written from the time of my divorce,
my life began to change and seemed to take its own course.
As Twenty Clicks into the Wind was written, my mother had found and read.
She called me and told me she cried. But I didn't stop. I kept writing more instead.
Every day that I wrote, my mother kept note.
She kept everything that she saved in a file.
Till one day, it built up, and I put it in a big pile.
Kept on writing, I did. Speaking about the love I had for my son.
Till one day, we strayed away. And our bond had come undone.
Then one day, I got into a bind, so I came up with a thought.
To bring my past back up. The pages that I've written may someday be bought.
So as I took a look, I made my diary my book.
My life, my diary, my poems. Now it's my time to share.
Every line that I've written is now complete and all there.
Everything that you read is exactly what you're gettin'.
While I tell you what was said, is...as it was written.
