Life 2

Life #2
_______________________________________

A glimmer of peace,
a shadow of hope
anything in the world
for people to cope.

A little inner self,
when things come undone
a light in the dark
to bring back some fun.

A four-leaf clover,
we all have a wish
cause life is an ocean
and we are the fish.

It's a give and get world,
and I've truly given mine
so you must give yours
before you run out of time.

Because there in the end,
if you have no remorse
you've lived your life
and fate took its course.


All has been done,
was your time to go
the curtains have closed
on the grandest of shows.

But your mark was made,
your legacy lives
in those that you love
and him who forgives.
