And life

And life goes on,
In more ways than one,
In the direction we don’t plan.
Would you beat yourself up?
Do you want answers to all the why’s?

And life isn’t fair,
You don’t always reap what you sow,
Along with your harvest may come tares,
Evil may be your reward for your good deeds.
Would you despair?

And life is short,
Today you’re here,
Tomorrow you are not,
But you can’t stop dreaming,
Though the morrow is not promised.

And life is beautiful,
Sunrise and sunset,
The birds chirping,
The cool breeze of the sea,
The smile of the one you love.

And so this is life,
The lives you touched and those that touched you.
The memories made.
Bitter or sweet.
It comes to an end.
