Faith

Time is not forever, no matter who we are, or what we do.
We take our life here for granted, for we are not promised tomorrow,
or the next hour.

We mistreat the ones we claim to love so much,
we destroy their spirit and deceive their trust.

Never realizing the damage that we have caused
and the soul that is forever lost.

Wondering the earth with such distress and a broken heart full pain
and everlasting unrest.

Never put your faith in man, for he will always let you down,
just look to God and pray.
Cause through it all, he will always be around.
