A Thought about Life

Life

What do we want from life?
Health, happiness, security, a husband or a wife
Children to carry on a generation
or solitude to allow for exploration
Whatever our need
we endeavour to succeed

So what if life doesn't quite go to plan
it seems a disaster, a 'flash in the pan'
At times we may struggle
and have many things to juggle 
But fight on we will
to find hope and goodwill

There may be dark times
tragedy through unbelievable crimes
Heartache, loss and grief 
a period of disbelief
But with bravery, strength and determination 
a little help from the fellow population
The path we will find
and leave these bad times behind

For we will never forget the people who have passed
the memories will live on and forever to last
The sirens they will fade
happy dreams to be made
The stars will shine brighter from now on
beacons of love to base our futures upon

So don't be afraid 
carry on with those plans you have made
Try not to give into an obstruction
look to the angels for instruction
The answer will be around
a white feather on the ground

We need to rebuild
lives to be filled
Lessons to be learnt 
and maybe bridges to be burnt
We go forward with hope and determination
to be a world where peace has no limitation

Let that light shine through
some mistakes we can undo
Reach up to those stars 
let life have no bars
For we can make it if we try
life is for living, let the angels fly high
