Life Asks For

If there’s anything life asks for,
Trusting self, nothing life asks for.

Make unfeeling hearts love as ere,  
And back to bonding, life asks for.

Hiding lifetime’s hoard how we feel,
To free from such felling, asks for.

To portray just as picture is,
Free truth from hiding, life asks for.

To forget faults as to forgive,
And no explaining, life asks for.
