When the world has done no wrong, You have not lived When your life has only pain, You are not where you belong When you fall in love That fateful day You’ll pray they will stay Will they? No But you will cry And you will live You will decide to never love again But like a storm It will fall upon you When you want it the least You will soon learn that your heart has healed You will no longer wish love should die When this love comes again You will laugh You will live You will lie As you reach a momentary high You will realise you can't fly So you will fall You will reach For anything Anything at all to catch you One day you will wake up You will think momentarily You will wonder if it was a dream You will be freed of all pain You will realize that you have yet to look around When the world has done no wrong, You have not lived Truth Truth comes in the knowledge that life has pains But unless you look around If only for a moment You will find your joys You will live freely You will find where you belong Your hearts storm will soon rest You will find someone with which You are at your best You can let the old pain continue to fall And you can let it learn Alone That it just does not belong here You wont need to live in fear You will someday wear A white dress Or a suit with a pocket square You will still have stress But you will have someone there And you will look around On some fateful day And you will then And only then say “This life may cause me pain I may have little gain But this life was never wrong I never saw those That held me up And threw me a thornless rose My life has been lived And it is now That I shall finally Say goodbye” All pains will retreat All memories reconvene And all you ever knew Will lower you to your love And life shall tell you “Thank you For you have truly let me guide you And you caught my faults And let me see Goodbye You are free Eternity awaits your hand Lead him as you have led me” You will wave You will smile You will cry You will tell the world One last Goodbye-
This poem is meant to help readers understand how they can lead their lives. The personification of eternity and life are meant to help the reader visualize that life will hold your hand as you choose your paths and eternity will follow you until you allow it to lead you. This hopefully shows that a life well lived will hold pain and fear but it will be well worth it.
