Life

Some people say life’s a bummer
Some people say it’s like summer
And within the joyous smiles for a new born
Lie the tortured tears of grieving scorn.

Some people say life is to learn
Some people say it can hurt and burn
And within the lessons of flight or fane
Lie the toils and spoils of pleasure and pain.

Some people say don’t worry it’s all just life
Some people say it cuts like a knife
And within the losses, the takes and the give
Lies the truth of it all, life is to live.
