Make Your Peace

Bird flu, Sunammi, Earthquakes and War.... Kinda makes ya wonder how much longer we are here for Political MESS, Health care not the best This journey is looking more and more like a QUEST I fear for the kids left with the trash Not even their fault, but they will suffer the wrath Some choose not to acknowledge the darkness ahead While others try to enlighten (unsuccessfully) instead The world (as we know it) is lookin pretty grim to me Is there a light ? Glimmer of hope? I prey this to be I would like my kids... and then... their kids due To be able to grow up and raise families too I want them to appreciate the simple things in life House, kids, dog husband and wife I want them to be respectful and kind I want them to know when they are falling behind I don't want them to live in a world full of fear Not ever knowing if the'll be a "next year" Could you imagine the panic....if this be true Think about last minute things you would do Where would you be? Who'd be by your side? Could you close your eyes knowing you really have tried? Make sure your at PEACE with yourself before this Insist all your good-by's part with a kiss Cause you never know if you'll see them again and you'll have comfort knowing you were a good friend If you know in your heart, your intentions are true The'll be no reason to quiver ....when your time has come due JVW/2015
