The Tide

Every life ebbs and flows just like the tide We all have laws and rules we have to abide Written by political figures and lawyers in our courts Some of us simply follow what we've been taught These laws are true and just, but I write of different rules Rules that are within us all, not taught in any school They are of free thought and ideas that spring from love Dreams that are sent from our guides up above Rules of respect, honour and a good sense of pride Are within us all but a select few keep hidden inside Its these rules I live by through out my day to day life If any are broken it starts all the trouble and strife To smile and greet everybody that's happy to greet you Learn new lessons and to believe in what's true Honour the people who travel down life's bumpy streets Respect loved ones with laughter at their feasts To say sorry when you've done something bad It heals the soul and makes things better not sad So you see we all have laws and rules we have to abide As every life ebbs and flows with the tide
