Almost everyone has a loved one,
You can count on, at any time,
It could be a, sibling, parent, child or partner,
A feeling of security, always in your mind.
I  remember those feelings,
Then they began to fade,
All of my people now, are buried in their graves.
I’ve been asked, are you lonely,
It just becomes a numb feeling, I carry inside,
One thing I know is certain, I’m the next in line to die.
I do not want sympathy, or sit around all day, and cry,
No one said this life, would be easy, always, give it your best try.
You should never waste your time, in this short life,
Have confidence, in yourself, your thoughts, you must rearrange,
Especially on situations you have no means to change.
God gave us this life, we only have this one season,
Never give up discovering your soul, for any reason.
