Dec 2013
Bitter sweet cool heat, joyess pain
While the world turns everything will change
Nothing will ever be the same again
The memories of yesterday I will befriend
I’ll just take it day by day
But then I wonder if I have a say
Or is it another passing thought
I’m just waiting for the world to stop
But I still have my friends the ones I love
Faith and hope are still enough
To get my through the day
I think I’ve done it, I’ve found my way

Time is measured by grains of sand
Expanding sea exploring land
Drifting on with women and man
To sympathize and understand

The shape of your life is your hands to mold
Treasure isn’t always silver and gold
Now compare pre and post
To commemorate this outcome I purpose a toast
I pray for the summer breeze
For without the summer air I cannot breathe

That’s thing about quitters, they’ll take the blame
But are quitting and giving up the same?
This time X won’t mark the spot
Instead it’s the lessons and people we’ve forgot
I always feel there’s more I should know
Implode satisfied, information over load

The birds fly themselves high in the sky
As I observe the world spinning by
I am thankful for everyday
There’s no doubt this life is great
Love and peace to all women and men
But most importantly attempt to comprehend

For unity and trust is what life is about
This and much more I understand now
This and much more I can understand now
This and much, much more
