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.
