There comes a time when you just know
that everything will turn out right in the end.
All your hard work will one day show
for all of your family and all of your friends.
But then you start to wonder what it all means,
when everyone around you eyes gleam with bliss,
if when you wake up you still see your dreams
and each night you lay in bed and reminisce.
You remember the times when you woke with a smile
and your heart was filled with love.
That each day would be remembered for a long while
because you were doing something you were proud of.
Why trade your happiness for that of others
when this is your only life, there will not be another.
