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.
