Standing Tall
I lift my head and see the sky
So blue, so clear, so high
A bird flies by and beats its wings
A merry tune it sings
A breeze now whispers in my ear
Releasing all my fears
My aching heart, my teary eyes
Starts to vanish with a sigh
A patter of feet on the grass
While children’s laughter pass
They run, they play, they jump and dance
And even tried to prance
The smile I long begin to creep
Upon my sorrowed lips
I watch the peace around me flow
Whilst my heart starts to glow
It’s not the end, life’s moving on
I must not again mourn
For past is past, I must stand tall
And rise in every fall
