I envy you who awakes to welcome the birthing of a new day.
Where family, friends, love and hope are the keystones of your way.
Once I too had those things and could welcome each rising sun.
And like you too I did all I could to hold those things hard won.
I never thought of my life in terms of what it had cost.
Never understood the value of having it until it all was lost.
I never even thought that it could all be lost in the way it was.
To end up living life when the sun rises and that my only "because".
To have a life with meaning and where you can have some good.
Yes I still remember it and I would turn my time back if I could.
I hope you can forgive my envy and know I bear no ill will to you.
But hear, please my en-treatment, your world is fragile too.
Do not take for granted that things will always last.
Better those things in your future than only in your past.
