Heart of Gold

The beauty of life, which is often unseen I guess each of us has some sort dream Intertwined with our ambitions and hope Sometimes it seems so impossible to cope Some days are blessed others are cursed Life; unlike a play, we don’t get to rehearse With diligent effort we rise up to the top Refusing to slow down let-a-long stop Top of the mountain offers a beautiful view A place to reflect on how dreams come true I’ve thought it all over and I believe it is true My dreams are mine and yours belong to you We have our own path with rivers to cross We cherish the gain and we regret the loss Each one of us has our tools, which we use The right to decide how we walk in our shoes There will always be those who criticize and judge Always be someone who holds some sort of grudge Misery Loves Company is the saying they tell No one wants to lonely especially sitting in hell Its best not to believe in good and bad luck Accept responsibility and not pass the buck Reach the point where there’s nothing left to hide That’s when you find yourself beaming with pride I never look at another to judge my own wealth I never judge another as hard as I judge myself Life is a journey, which has a beginning and end Each life has its own special meaning to send If I die today, the story I hope my life has told I measured my success through my heart of gold

The poem has so much heart sharing. This poem could give someone the will to move on, with each and every caring word. Please pardon me. but the line "No one wants to lonely especially sitting in hell" I think isn't right. If i am wrong so sorry!
