Life
I woke up to see the faces of life.
The man that had chose me, for his wife.
The children we love together.
The grandchildren I will love forever.
My cell phone begins to ring.
My mother begins to sing.
Soon pain is left behind.
The voices are quiet, in my mind.
I will never be like most of you.
Silence for me is a heavenly breakthrough.
Life for me is a struggle sometimes.
But I know tomorrow leaves today behind.
Past is past so when it lurks in.
I remind myself a new day will soon begin.
Memories are okay.
If they remind us of a better day.
Depression hurts even my family.
Praying of a life better for them not me.
Life is not always what you make of it.
Sometimes its harder, by a little bit.
You may pass by and think little of me.
Yet its your sanity that I envy.
