It's Been a Wonderful Life

It's been a wonderful life. Iv'e laughed and iv'e cried. Iv'e watched people live, And iv'e watched people die. It's been a wonderful life. Iv'e seen the good and the bad. Iv'e felt times of joyfulness, Others i felt sad. It's been a wonderful life. Iv'e known jealousy and anger. Times when i was safe. Times where there was danger. It's been a wonderful life. Iv'e traveled and iv'e learned. Saved some bridges as sacred, Others i had to burn. It's been a wonderful life. I have tried so many things. Iv'e faced my fears throughout the years, And even wore wedding rings. It's been a wonderful life. Though there were times of struggle. Moments that were overwhelming, Too many things to juggle. It's been a wonderful life. Iv'e been well and iv;e had pain. Moments where i was invincible, Moments where i went insane. It's been a wonderful life. Despite some atrocities. There was a lot of greatness too. A bright side of humanity. It's been a wonderful life. Though there was some angst. If i hadn't had it, There'd be nothing to fight against. It's been a wonderful life. I take it all in stride. The world is always spinning, So just enjoy the ride.
