A Life Lived

I choose to live Not because I want to But because I have to. I choose to live,so that one day When I will be no more, My memory won't wither away like a flower that leaves no seeds But like a souvenir plastered on a wall I choose to live for the broken For those that still hold the value of friendship To them that understand that love is worth a thousand miles I choose to live Because I have to give it my best shot I will not run away like a coward in a hide out I will find FAITH in the battle I know if I can make it someone in the crowd Might be inspired to face tomorrow Though sands of time slip I choose to live, because I have a mission to pursue Christ gave up His life to save man kind All for the sake of LOVE It's not a thing I want But it's something I have to do For those behind me and those not yet born I live life for a brother Am choosing to live Because there are a lot of smiles yet to be recovered.
