Living for Others
There is no comfort in what I do
I just choose my burdens
Learn to accept my responsibilities
Live out my life finding happiness
Where and when I am able
Will it be enough to satisfy I don't know
I do know that there will come a time
When I will find the freedom and joy I desire
Hoping for this as I have faith
God will give me what I need at the appropriate time
Will I ever be loved and cared for
As I have loved and cared for others
Only time will tell, but I will have hope
If it does not happen on earth then hopefully
It will happen when I return to God in heaven
The past is gone, the future is uncertain
Today is mine to live the best life I can
Proud in the choices I make
For myself and those around me
Do my best to keep them healthy and happy
Do I open up myself to the world
Allow myself to be hurt again and again
Is it worth the pain to have love and friendship in my life
Only time will tell, will my life be my own again, unknown
I will look to find happiness in the moments of my life
No longer planning for the future
As it will always be unknown
Life is a start and an end
With God the center of my life
All else in life is filler
So smile and enjoy your day!
