Sometimes life
Calls upon us
To have faith
In what we do not know
Or cannot see

But, from the other side of experience,
I’ve figured out
That life in turn
Will teach you
Anything and everything
You need to know
You will learn your lessons
Even if sometimes
You have to do the ***** work
And rough it by yourself

And along the way
You’ll find someone
Who’ll stick by you through thick and thin
And you’ll learn together
Knowing your days of lonely have passed

Life takes away amber
Sometimes well before it should
But slides some bronze in its place
And you’ll find that nothing lasts forever,
Even the pain
Because life can never give up
Or stop moving
Once it gets started

You’ll find life doing what you can’t
You will hate it and you will love it
And to top it all off:
There’s a view from the top
Well worth shedding a few tears over

And sometimes…
Life just has a message for us
Something it’s time to hear
Sometimes that’s all it is
It all just comes down to love
Who and what we need
Who we’re there for
What we do for love..
Love of the self we all need
Love of another we all seem to crave
Sometimes that’s all it is
All it ever will be
