Life
Life is what you live and how you live it
It is not definable nor was it meant to be a playground
If we knew why life exists we would only question more
One day each of us will reach the end of this miraculous journey
The energy that was us will return to the vastness of space
As we are but an extension of the stars from which we were born
From nothingness we came and to nothingness we shall return
As it is this state that puts our minds to rest and brings us eternal peace
So cherish each moment of awareness that this life allows
Turn each day into one that brings help to others and pride to within
For it is only by using your energy in a positive way that you can find happiness
Believe in what you will and let not others sway you from those beliefs
As long as they do no harm to others they are yours and yours alone
The journey's end lies ahead for all of us and is inevitable
Do not leave this Earth with hate and bigotry in your heart
Love is not a weakness, it is the strength that hopefully will define humankind
Let us carry that love in our energy as we pass it to the stars
