The World

everyones world is different
in that we each have our own world
each of us has a destiny
thats tied to if we are a boy or a girl
we all have desires
the rich and the poor
it's not always money
the thing that we wish for
some look for love
when it's so hard to find
it's just one thing
but it stays on our mind
some of us search for knowledge
the keys to unknown doors
searching religion to find them
though few find what they're looking for
life is a journey
we take from young to old
and all along this journey
certian mysteries unfold
mysteries and histories 
mingle in our mind
puzzle pieces come together
but not all the time
failure and death travel side by side
ever always near us
we try so hard to hide
secrets and ignorance
always plague our lives
the things that we don't know
become a horrible surprise
our friends and our enemies
each inflict their harm
they may hurt our bodies
but it's worse when they hurt our heart
and God where is God
while we stand here alone
would'nt it be nice
if we could reach him by the phone
courage and strength foolishly risk
the one and only life we have
and the fact is there can be no happy
without there being a sad
there are also surprises
that make us glad
success takes persistance
and that's an ammount
we have to get up 
not stay down for the count
God is out there listening
and this is hard to believe
helping you find your victory with forces 
hard but not impossible to see
 (to be continued)

I know my world is different... however, i enjoy the way you expressed the proper perception, of happiness and sadness... you can't have one without the other... when both are born from the same energy... great ending... Now, i wish to live by that line this week.. always~ LINDA
