AMAZED BY LIFE
What can we say of this life of ours?
The blood the tears
the pain, the scars.
Is it all really worth
the blood we spill
upon the earth
There are times when hell must be reached
We live in this from day to day
When our happiness is impeached
When we find there's no other way
Through broken times
and lonely hearts
On simple rhymes
our world can break apart
Words can tear down your walls
The spill your blood across the halls
Words of hate and words of scorn
Tear the world before it forms
BUT!!...
We ourselves make it grand
when on our feet we do stand
You can see so far, you see
when you look for yourself
Don't rely on the sight of me
open your eyes and look for me
Words can not summon up the joys of the world
The little things make it so grand
The laugh of a small child when he first discovers something
the taste of your first kiss
the axhilaration and rush of your first date
The few moments of true inpiration
The sunsetting on a cloudy day
That day you feel the changing of a season
How mist feels on a hot day
How love wraps its warmth around you
When something you have strived for is FINALLY yours
When you can not contain yourself but must tell all everything you know, feel, see, hear, and taste.
Five senses are not enough and they are not true.
Sense of wonder and amazement.....ahhh tell all you know about the special times
You can not see from the cheap seats
you must go forth and call
you must fight on and continue in life
If you wish to reap it all
Life is a gift not a burden
and when you realize this its grand
with someone close by your side
to be there to take your hand
To achieve the thoughts on the day
To push old thoughts of sloth away
The world will be here through thick and thin
oh what wonderous place we live in
Reap the day m'friends
And if you think you have not
Chin up, for one will come again tomorrow
To fill you with its warmth so hot
Life is a journey, not a destination
Continue your discoveries as you were a child
find new things in everyday life
Like roses growin in the wild
Don't take for granted everyday
or my friend you'll surely pay
for the day will wisk away
and leave you there, old and gray
seek, find, discover, amaze
each and every one of your days
To find the time
Upon this rhyme
Inpired true
because of you
Thank you to all who have been a part in my life...big and small....you know who you are m'friends..you know who you have been and you know who you will be. Thank you.
