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!
