KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP
Who dedicates the path of life?
And how long our walk will take,
I believe our destiny was assured,
Before we were awake
Therefore, the choice that path will take us
It is not given to us to make.
Why do some of us keep walking?
This often bumpy road
Sometimes, tired and weary,
Carrying a heavy load,
Memories of the past
Some good, some bad.
Uplifting memories of happy times,
And some unbearably sad.
Questions and more questions
Keep coming all the time,
As I trudge my long pathway
Realizing there are no answers,
Whatever people say.
Perhaps I have a lot to learn,
That's why I've had to stay
Perhaps those with a short path,
They knew everything there was to know
And their short presence on this Earth
It was to encourage other mortals to grow
Teaching us compassion.
Respect, love and strength,
The spirits of life
Who did not need to live long,
Their short lives,
Made the rest of us strong
What is the reason why we are here?
I have no more questions.
It's becoming quite clear.
Chosen to be the person I've become
Spiritually connected to everyone.
