Life
Life
We stumble, we fall -sometimes we must crawl
Before strength returns helping us stand once more.
Mistakes are made and we find ourselves afraid
To boldly pursue all our heart is longing for
Our journey holds wonder, love and mystery
Along with sorrow and uninvited calamity
We might find we've drifted far from the shore
Still life is a gift we ought to unwaveringly treasure
For every breath is given us without fee
So embrace the blast of day breaking each morning
Let go of yesterday
And become the person God intended you to be
