Poem
Life is hard and then you die in the meantime you mostly cry It seems to me that you have been changed your attitude somewhat rearranged The place you've been is not so nice and a terrible place to seek advice All who go there have had a hard life full of grief and constant strife They think they know what to do to survive but they are not living - they are merely alive That place is rife with takers trying to live in the strife neither knowing how to give nor how to live life You are different from them I know and you have important places to go Listen carefully to those who really care they're the ones that can get you there How it is now is not how it's supposed to be you are actually supposed to be free Free always to be who you are - yourself and never to be put on a shelf Only you can find the answers you seek and it will certainly take more than a week Hard work is coming of that be certain I pray you put away your fear and raise that curtain The curtain you closed to create the blind to tearfully cower and hide behind. The time is now for the light to shine on you and light the way for the life you want for you. All that’s left now is to do the crying and please know you’re not really dying. It is a part of life and it’s truly a life worth living especially when you start giving Giving freely with no concern knowing there'll likely be nothing in return That is truly a life worth living - a life of love and learning to put finally to rest that painful burning So there you have what many believe a concept I pray you are of a mind to receive You’ll make the right choices on that you should depend and know always my love and friendship will never end.
