Rise Above Before the Fall
Rise above before the fall
You look beneath each unturned stone
where four leaf clover shrouds the path
To wonder, thinking all alone,
what brought about this aftermath
As daisies clamor ‘bout the field
and dragonflies abandon hope
When orchards passing off their yield
will find it hard to even cope
Lest not a day of future themes
reflect this distance you now feel
For merely but a stack of dreams,
horizon’s light may soon reveal
So take this orchid from its stem,
a small reminder of the past
And question not who follows them
but cherish every foot step cast
Come hold your head up to the sky
as banners wave and bluebirds sing
Extend your hand to passers by,
much more than just a thoughtful thing
For life is but a fleeting friend
not here for very long at all
It’s up to you to just transcend
and rise above before the fall
