Just Life

You begin life with a scream,
To some you are a burden,to some you are a dream,
Travelling through life,is like playing on a team,
Will you learn from your elders,or blow your own steam,
Many persons journey will be rough,through life some will flow,
People will come and people will go,
Memories to cherish,or persons you wish you didn't know,
But take this point seriously,try obtaining wisdom while you grow,
This journey is for everyone,who took the first breath,
Be conscious on your journey,be fruitful in your steps,
Don't be fooled,life is not a gamble,learn the spiritual depth,
Get connected to the energy,before the flesh,gives way to death,,,

Ohh, I just love this, Richard! I love "get connected to the energy" because we have to connect to the power source who is God or we will be drained, depleted. He gives us unlimited energy :)
