Meant To Be
all earthy lives still have to die
and that’s how it was meant to be
though man and science question why
we celebrate the joys of life
and that’s how it was meant to be -
conversely, we don’t welcome strife
we grieve to see loved ones pass on
and that’s how it was meant to be
yet always there appears new dawn
we praise the dawn; it’s a new day
and that’s how it was meant to be
whether our days be bright or grey
day in, day out, our world’s turning
and that’s how it was meant to be;
for dreams to be – hearts keep yearning
we’re born; we age; this earth we’ll leave
and that’s how it was meant to be
but souls move on! THIS I believe.
