Taking Back Life Wasn'T Easy
Once life slipped from my young days,
taking away all happiness;
it rained, but flowers didn't grow,
hope was as far as a rainbow...
deprivation and longing
made me shout at my ill fate
to stop its wrongdoing
before it turned to hate.
Yes, taking back life wasn't easy,
but what's left is mine to pursue...
to enjoy before my hour of death;
and I hope that it will continue
without disrupting the harmony
between love and happy living:
'though lost time can't return,
the present is enough!
Years have passed and generosity
has flourished in a loveless heart,
now, every friend notices how
it loves them without resentment;
and they reflect over my words,
" Taking back life wasn't easy...
I fought hard and won
by making the right choices!"
