Empty Life

What ever happened to life, Is it now occupied too much by strife? I don't think no answers will come, Or should I just succumb. Love can only solve this. We have to understand that our lives are gifts. Is the world spinning so fast, Or is it the time to forget the past. In a world filled with changes each and every day, That is why we constantly need to pray. Why don't we open our eyes and see, This is real and not a illusion but it is reality. I believe we live and die by the choices we make, But there's only so much a person can take. Only we as humans can determine our fate, As long as we are still living it's never too late. There are always moments of glory, joy and pain, Now days not too much will be sane. In this life I'm going to wear the biggest smile even though I want to cry. I'm going to fight to live even though I'm destined to die. For those full of spite and always complaining, The world is full of darkness; I still believe there is hope remaining. James 4:14 ESV "Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."
