"life"

A day a night a week a year.
A life filled with laughter and tears.
Things that are funny I always hear.
Great things in my life I keep very near.
Goodness is part of lifes greatest gift.
When love comes in,your heart gets a lift.
The sadness and pain come in to live.
Show them the boot cause you have nothing to give.`
Life passes by with no regrates or blame.
Thats why our lives will never be the same.
