Everything tends to end one day
In this all too temporary life

We suffer loss too often
Bringing leather skin to our bones
Shedding imperfections in silent rooms
Mourning lives in private

We arrive into this life alone
Only to build on relationships
Then we break when they break
Learning to persevere and grow

Never giving up
Vowing to never give in
We push ahead against the wind
Continuously fighting
Always enduring.....

Until the end
When we lay alone
Close our eyes in a lasting sleep
Some without hope of anything
