Fellowship by Peter Reum

He thought he had life by the tail
Every question he answered
There were no mysteries that paled
One would think he could cure cancer

Reliance upon his own intellect
Was his usual modus operandi
He treated loved ones with disrespect
While seeking every honor to collect

Friends and family went away
The result of ego gone astray
In grieving, he tried to see the cost
Silence deafening, his soul was lost

When things looked to him the bleakest
He took inventory of his whole life
People he never knew talked with him
Showing him new ways to lose strife

Old behavior is not easily changed
We need help to avoid falling back
Friends don't know why he acted strange
But fellowship kept him on the tracks

Making amends was quite frightening
He would rather be struck by lightning
There is peace in getting life balanced
Getting rid of shame was enlightening

Keeping things honest is essential
Walking the line humbly is best
The fellowship is always confidential
Changing your life is a noble quest
