live to work, work to death
how dare you stop to savor that breath?
this life is not meant to be enjoyed!
your very existence is merely a toy
a toy in the hand of god
playing his games, sowing his sod
arranging & rearranging as he sees fit
our lives, a meaningless pit
but NO, it's wrong, this story we're told!
why give up before we grow old?
life is not just a game to be played
it's a lesson we're learning every single day
a precious gift to be shared for all
to be there and be cared for when we stumble & fall
the beauty of an act of love and kindness
doesn't require bowing down to "your highness"
surrendering to the gifts & joys of everyday life
not struggling, nor fighting, nor strife
but somehow we've been taught only to kneel
scolded and punished whenever we feel
but the greatest pleasure in life is simply just to be
no worrying, no judgement—only free
for life has no beginning nor does it have an end
it just is our beautiful friend
