The Goal

They say happiness comes and goes, They say joy can not last for long, They say love is only a temporary thought, They say life ends after all. The being that I am, the soul that I own, the mind that I control, and the heart that drives it all, were they meant to come and go? were they meant to last not long? were they meant to play a temporary role? does life really end after all? do I believe in life after the curtains fall? do I see future beyond all obstructions? do I yearn for more in times of little growth? do I seek to rise even when I fall? The evil seek to cloud our thoughts, and bring down all hope. It creeps in our soul, and leads us to suffering forever more. It clouds our eyes till we can't see no more, of the glory set before, us till we run blind and spin out of control, veering off our God made road, the road meant to leads us above and beyond. The devil, full of temporary vanity solutions, meant to patch up our heart and soul, meant to please us for not too long, for when the money goes, will she really stay because of he see's him as being more? will he really make time for her since all hustle is gone? will they really see beyond what all the money bought? Or will they follow the path of money and be gone... They say happiness comes and goes, I say the heart never stops, They say joy can not last for long, I say smile and be glad after evil is gone, They say love is only a temporary thought, I say love the life and see all sadness go, They say life ends after all, Well, I say after doing good, feel good, and move on.
