When life turns around and you
feel all the frowns,
When goodness seems distant and
life lacks its crown,
When the heart feels so heavy as it
often does do,
When you can't find that peace
that you often once knew,
Can life lack it's luster and still one
carry on?
Or live each day happy without
those who have gone?
For when life is peered through
with this blurry gaze,
One can't help but wonder the
meaning of this maze,
And then look towards the life you
hold deep inside,
Think of the wonder as you board
this new ride,
For the hope that is new moves
you forward with love,
This life you are about to meet was
sent from above,
We stick moving forward though
not sure where we'll be,
For in this hard world we can't
make others see,
The effort we put forth to keep life
in check,
The love that we spread out with
hope you'll be kept,
But fear not the future for you are
not alone,
All of us feel this and one day you'll
find home...
