Life is a journey
through the past,
living in the present,
facing the future.

People come into our lives,
maybe only for a day,
a month or maybe for
a year or two.

As those paths cross,
there is always a lesson
to be learned no matter
how brief.

One brief moment
can touch you for a
lifetime or may turn
your world upside down.

Love's spell is simple
and timeless, but pain
cripples your course.

Weep and you weep alone,
rejoice and people will see you,
grieve and they turn and go.

Move along even if all is gone,
love again without fear for
the end might be near.

Now you see it, now you don't,
things change so fast and
nothing seems to last anymore.

If you need to cry,
cry out all of your tears,
then you will be able to smile
again and you will be able
to get through it, this time
called life.                                           Jon York     2011
