Life
We are here …a brief moment in time
We breathe and we follow the flow…of life
Will we be pulled to the right?
Will the left be stronger?
Up and down and away we go
Never sure if tomorrow
Will look like today, or yesterday
Does it make sense?
Do we make sense of it?
Maybe
It’s what we strive for
We must find out
For if we don’t
We fall into the darkness
Of routine and patterns
And melancholy
The wheel always turns the same way
Never venturing east… or west
The wheel of life … she goes and goes
And we go with her... in full circle
Or we come to a STOP!
Take a deep breath
And start again…
We might lose a friend
Along the way
We might gain a friend
And lose him again
Will we reach the wisdom of life?
Or will we succumb and rot with the rest...
It’s up to us
It’s up to you
What you do with the life you were given
Angels don’t have to be perfect
One wing might be smaller
Than the other
It’s what you do with
The one good wing
That can sustain you
And take you
To
The highest mountain
The highest peek
You see it and feel it and reach it at last
It’s up to you what you do with your chance
To live or die … while you live
It’s up to you
You’re alive, be happy
Open your eyes
And see the light
That will take you
To that better place
If you need a place
That’s better, happier, and lovelier
Than the place you’re in
Follow the path…make your own path
It’s up to you
