The Sun Can Rise Just As It Can Set

A person’s view on life Is what they take from day to day And in what ways the knowledge they find May be useful in their mind Days will come and days will go But what may happen we won’t know I’ve seen life in many forms In joy and happiness In anger and sorrow Come tomorrow it all starts again With each new morning comes a new day A day to find grief, truth, or belief To make something better of yourself To find joy, fear, love, anything People believe that with age comes wisdom But I believe with experience comes wisdom Some of us older, some of us younger I have seen death, I have seen life I have seen childhood, I have seen parenthood I have seen my beginning, I have seen my ending And I have seen all you can imagine in between Life is a gift Don’t be afraid of it, embrace it Live it to the fullest Breathe each breath as if it could be your last Take a chance and tell that special person you love them Because you never know You may not be able to do it tomorrow The sun can rise just the same as it can set
