From babe's first cry To happy hour From beauty of life Turning sour Educate Reciprocate ********** Reiterate There must be more Hidden away Searching for something Starting to stray Anticipation of a first kiss Expectations of the welcomed bliss Completion Entering the work force Bells tolling Announcing a union between lovers Creating a new being Out of thin air Only to bring them Into a world of despair Growing old and gray Watching children stray Seeing them struggle And internally scream Powerless to help Nightmares from a dream Is this all there is There has to be more My life has to mean something Waves crash to the shore Stranded out at sea I look around and find There is no solace for What's left of my mind Ashes to ashes Dust to dust I fade to nothing As iron turns to rust *Filled picnic basket Deep sunken casket* But what I want to know is this *When does the line Between life And between death Become more than fine*
