Our minds race, thoughts collide,
As our goals are left to divide.
People come and people go,
We wish to make it till we grow.
Some are taken in their prime,
Left struggling to make the climb.
While the world crumbles down,
The pain is as if you drown.
One day you're here, gone the next,
Leaving those around perplexed.
We always touch lives, no matter how small,
Never did we think of how it would affect us all.
The leaves fall leaving us bare and broken,
As we're left in silence or soft spoken.
Strength escapes us as the shock sets in,
Our shield can only be so thick; skin.
Life at times will try to tear us apart,
But each time, knowledge does impart.
Never take the things in life we have for granted,
We must learn to move like trees, as we're planted.
As we take each day, never lose sight of the light,
It's the only thing that'll help us through the fight.
Move with everything life throws in your direction,
For everything in life is full of inflection.
Live like there's no tomorrow, don't be led astray,
As the winds of life hit your branches;
               there is but one thing to do; sway...
